113113note: Built from the Open Food Facts label photograph (read at full size), the USDA Branded Foods record for this UPC, Wikipedia for the brand and the BVO removal, Dubai Refreshment's own history page, a UAE shop listing, the prefix-owner stub's USDA record and the archived 2007 Barcodepedia entry. The lookup flagged a conflict between "dew" (Open Food Facts) and "MTN DEW, SODA" (USDA); the photo shows a Mountain Dew bottle with this barcode printed, so both records name the same brand.

## Research <!--research-->
structure_version: 2
reviewed_on: 2026-09-14
note: Built from the Open Food Facts label photograph (read at full size), the USDA Branded Foods record for this UPC, Wikipedia for the brand and the BVO removal, Dubai Refreshment's own history page, a UAE shop listing, the prefix-owner stub's USDA record and the archived 2007 Barcodepedia entry. The lookup flagged a conflict between "dew" (Open Food Facts) and "MTN DEW, SODA" (USDA); the photo shows a Mountain Dew bottle with this barcode printed, so both records name the same brand.
