GDSN record for this GTIN (fdc_id 1457657), USDA release 2026-04-30, label data modified 2018-03-14 and published 2021-03-19. It lists brominated vegetable oil and sodium hexametaphosphate, where PepsiCo's SmartLabel revisions from May 2022 to April 2025 list sodium polyphosphates and no brominated vegetable oil, so this statement is an earlier label; `valid_until` is the update date of the earliest SmartLabel revision.

Nutrition panel
Per 100 mlas sold ยท USDA restates the label panel per 100 ml; the printed per-can column was not available from that record.[5]

Notes on this panel
- Protein ยท g ยท 0.01 g[5]
- USDA stores 0.01 g; a United States label rounds protein below 0.5 g per serving to 0, so this is a computed trace.
- Salt ยท g ยท 0.073 g[5]
- Salt equivalent computed from sodium; United States labels declare sodium, not salt.
The record's own serving field reads 360 ml against a household serving of "12 FL OZ (355 mL)", so only the per-100 ml restatement is stored here.

Its ingredient tab adds "Less Than 1% Juice", "Caffeine Content 54mg/12 fl oz." and "Cherry Flavor With Other Natural Flavors"; the page warns that without a scanned pack QR code it may describe a different product version. Revisions 0002 (24 May 2022), 0003 (15 December 2022) and 0004 (30 September 2023) sit between this one and revision 0001.

PepsiCo's earliest SmartLabel page for the same UPC, marked "THIS PAGE HAS BEEN RETIRED" and headed "Mountain Dew, Code Red, With A Rush Of Cherry Flavor". Its ingredient statement and nutrition figures match revision 0005; the flavour line reads "With A Rush Of Cherry Flavor With Other Natural Flavors" and it carries no juice-content line.

What the sources say about these ties
- Boston Beer Company licensed
- Boston Beer's 2025 Form 10-K says it entered a licensing agreement with PepsiCo in 2021 and has sold the alcoholic Hard Mountain Dew under it since 2022, at about 2% of its net revenue in 2024 and 2025.
- Britvic licensed
- Britvic's own brands page says Mountain Dew "first entered the UK market in 2010, made and sold by Britvic"; its current British range is Mountain Dew and Mountain Dew No Sugar.
- PepsiCo owns
- The Pepsi-Cola company bought the brand and its production rights from the Tip Corporation in August 1964, a year before it was renamed PepsiCo; the Virginia Department of Historic Resources dates the purchase of Tip to 1964 as well.
Built from the ownership rows on the brand and company pages, each cited where it is recorded. Made in is the country of production on this product's record; the GS1 prefix of a barcode names the issuing organisation, not where the product was made.
About this product
Mountain Dew Code Red is the cherry-flavoured extension of PepsiCo's Mountain Dew, and this barcode is its 12 fl oz (355 ml) single can for the United States.[2][3] PepsiCo launched Code Red in stores in May 2001, the first large-scale departure from the brand's flagship citrus flavour, and it lifted overall Mountain Dew sales by six per cent in its first year.[4] USDA Branded Foods carries a GDSN record for this exact GTIN naming Pepsico Inc. as brand owner, and PepsiCo's own product facts site gives 54 mg of caffeine and 50 mg of phosphorus for the can.[5][2] Amazon.com lists the can under this UPC, and a Washington, DC shop lists it at USD 1.30 under the UPC-E form 01206201.[6][1]
PepsiCo's SmartLabel pages for this UPC, from the retired May 2022 revision to the one updated in April 2025, give the current label: 170 calories and 46 g of added sugars per can, sodium polyphosphates as the flavour-protecting sequestrant, and none of the nine major food allergens.[7][3] The ingredient statement USDA captured from 2018 label data still names brominated vegetable oil, the citrus emulsifier PepsiCo removed from Mountain Dew by 2020, and sodium hexametaphosphate, so it records an earlier label.[5][8]
