About this product

Mountain Dew 1 L is a one-litre plastic bottle of Mountain Dew, the citrus soft drink PepsiCo has owned since 1964, under UPC 012000002977.[3] PepsiCo lists it in the United States as its 33.8 fl oz size, sold to trade fifteen to a case, with a label of high fructose corn syrup, concentrated orange juice and Yellow 5 that gives 170 calories and 54 mg of caffeine in each 12 fl oz serving.[1][4][5][6] The same barcode is printed on a Saudi-made bottle filled in Abha by Al Qahtani Beverages, whose Arabic label is sweetened with sugar, leaves out the orange juice, adds ascorbic acid and gives 119 kcal per 250 ml.[2][7] Amazon.sa, Carrefour Saudi Arabia and the delivery app Ninja all list the 1 L bottle.[8][9][10]

PepsiCo's SmartLabel for this bottle has had eight revisions between May 2022 and April 2025, all with the same ingredient statement.[1] Al Qahtani Beverages, founded in 1982, received an Exclusive Bottling Appointment from PepsiCo in 1983 and describes itself as the leading producer and distributor of Pepsi, 7 Up, Mirinda and Mountain Dew in southern Saudi Arabia.[7]

Coverage & research gaps (9)

Coverage measures the evidence recorded here. It does not rate the product.

  • Identity: 3 / 3 · Name, brand and classification recorded
  • Context: 2 / 3 · Evidence groups assigned to a researched label, edition or analysis
  • Label photographs: 0 / 2 · Researched contexts with an assigned photograph
  • United States label per PepsiCo SmartLabel revision 0008, updated 2025-04-05: nutrient evidence: 16 / 16 · Recorded nutrient rows linked to a source; not the number of nutrients that ought to exist
  • Saudi bottle label, Arabic, photographed 2025: nutrient evidence: 1 / 1 · Recorded nutrient rows linked to a source; not the number of nutrients that ought to exist
  • nutrition · unknown: The Saudi nutrition table (a 250 ml column and a percentage column) runs round the bottle out of frame; only the per-serving energy icon is legible.
  • images · unknown: No photograph of the United States 1 L bottle and its label; both Open Food Facts photographs show the Saudi bottle.
  • markets · unknown: Searched amazon.com on 2026-09-25 for "mountain dew 1 liter", "mountain dew 33.8 fl oz", "mountain dew" and 012000002977 ("No results"); only 2 Liter bottles, multipacks of other sizes and merchandise surfaced: no listing of this article.
  • markets · unknown: A ShopRite listing at seopd.shoprite.com naming this UPC (33.81 fl oz single plastic bottle) timed out from the server and has no archived capture, so no United States retail price is recorded.
  • identity · disputed: Amazon.sa gives United Arab Emirates as the country of origin for this UPC while the photographed bottle is printed "SAUDI MADE" with an Abha bottler; which Gulf bottler fills Amazon.sa's stock is not established.
  • evidence · stale: Evidence was observed over a year ago; check for newer labels. Historical evidence remains valid.
