## Research gaps <!--research_gaps-->
| observation | domain | state | detail | source |
| ----------- | ----------- | -------- | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- | ----------- |
| | ingredients | disputed | Open Food Facts' typed list for this barcode omits Citrus Pectin and Potassium Citrate, both printed by PepsiCo's SmartLabel and repeated by the USDA record. Read as an incomplete contributor transcription, not a reformulation: no dated evidence supports a recipe change. | ^off |
| | nutrition | unknown | The 2021 carton panel prints Total Carbohydrate 0 g and the 2023 SmartLabel panel < 1 g. Both are recorded as printed; whether this is a label revision or only a change of rounding practice is not established. | ^smartlabel |
| | identity | unknown | No source read states where the drink is filled, and the carton photograph shows no country-of-origin statement, so country_of_origin is left empty. | |
| | markets | unknown | No retail listing printing this barcode could be retrieved (Foodland answered 403, Target's page carries no barcode), so the Markets row carries no observed price. | |
| | images | unknown | Open Food Facts holds front and nutrition photographs only; no ingredients or back-panel photograph of the carton was found. | ^off |

## About <!--about-->
Diet Mountain Dew is the no-calorie version of Mountain Dew, PepsiCo's citrus-flavoured soft drink, and this barcode is the United States carton of twelve 12 fl oz (355 mL) cans, 144 fl oz (4.26 L) in all; the front is signed "diet Mtn Dew" and reads "Low Calorie DEW".[^offfront] PepsiCo's SmartLabel entry for this UPC lists carbonated water, concentrated orange juice, citric acid and natural flavor ahead of the sweeteners aspartame, acesulfame potassium and sucralose, declares 54 mg of caffeine per 12 fl oz and names PepsiCo, Inc. of Purchase, New York as the distributor.[^smartlabel] The USDA Branded Foods record for the barcode names Pepsi-Cola North America Inc. as its brand owner.[^usda]
Diet Mountain Dew was introduced in 1988, four decades after the drink it is based on reached the market.[^wikimd] The carton photographed in 2021 and the SmartLabel panel updated in 2023 are kept here as two printed panels: the older prints 0 g of total carbohydrate per serving, the newer less than 1 g.[^offnut]
