A United States label rounds a carbohydrate figure this small to 0 g per serving, so this is a computed trace rather than a printed number.
- of which sugars · g
- 0.01 g[5]known · exact · normalized
A United States label rounds this to 0 g per serving; the article is sold as a zero-sugar drink.
- Fibre · g

- Protein · g
- 0.03 g[5]known · exact · normalized
USDA stores 0.03 g; a United States label rounds protein below 0.5 g per serving to 0, so this is a computed trace.
- Salt · g
- 0.028 g[5]known · exact · calculated
Salt equivalent computed from sodium; United States labels declare sodium, not salt.

USDA stores 0.01 mg; a United States label rounds this to 0 mg per serving.
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.

About this product
Mountain Dew Code Red Zero Sugar is the sugar-free version of PepsiCo's cherry-flavoured Mountain Dew extension, and this barcode is its 12 fl oz single-serve can for the United States.[1] PepsiCo sold the same UPC as Diet Mountain Dew Code Red until 2022, when the diet line was renamed Zero Sugar: the SmartLabel page for this article was retired under its old title and reissued the same day as "Mountain Dew, Zero Sugar, Code Red".[2][3][4] PepsiCo states 68 mg of caffeine and no phosphorus per can.[1] The only ingredient statement on file is USDA's 2018 capture of the earlier Diet label, sweetened with aspartame and acesulfame potassium and coloured with Red 40, Yellow 5 and Blue 1.[5]
More about this product
Code Red reached United States stores in May 2001 as the brand's first large-scale move beyond its flagship citrus flavour and lifted overall Mountain Dew sales by six per cent in its first year; the diet version followed in 2002.[4] The 2006-2013 Barcodepedia recorded this UPC in 2007 as "Diet Mountain Dew Code Red" in a 12 fl. oz. container.[6] PepsiCo's current SmartLabel revision for the UPC, updated in April 2025, renders its ingredient and nutrition panels from a script, so the wording now printed on the can could not be transcribed.[7]

PepsiCo's United States product facts site publishes a page keyed to this GTIN, "Mountain Dew Code Red Zero Sugar - 12 fl oz"; its en-US SmartLabel for the same UPC prints the United States distributor block[^sl4] and USDA Branded Foods records the GTIN on the United States market.[^usda] No retailer listing found prints this single-can UPC, so no price is recorded.
A listing is evidence that this barcode is sold there, on that date; a price is what that listing showed, not a recommended price.

- ingredients · stale: The only ingredient statement found for this GTIN is USDA's capture of label data modified in May 2018, while the article was still sold as Diet Mountain Dew Code Red. Whether the recipe changed when PepsiCo renamed it Zero Sugar in 2022 is not established by any source read.
- ingredients · not_researched: PepsiCo's four SmartLabel revisions for this UPC load their ingredient, nutrition and allergen panels from a script, so the statement now printed on the can could not be read or transcribed.
- nutrition · not_researched: PepsiCo's product facts page renders its nutrition label in a widget the server cannot read; only the caffeine and phosphorus figures printed outside it were transcribed.
- markets · not_researched: Only a United States market is evidenced, from PepsiCo's own United States sites and the USDA record. No retailer listing carrying this single-can UPC was found, so no price or store evidence is recorded.
- images · unknown: Open Food Facts holds a record for this barcode but no photographs, and no licensed picture of the can was found elsewhere.
- packaging · unknown: No packaging declaration was found. USDA's description calls the pack an aluminum can, which is a label string rather than a packaging declaration.
