USDA's GDSN label transcription for this GTIN, record modified 2017-11-24 and versioned 2021-03-19. It declares sugar instead of high fructose corn syrup and orders quillaia before EDTA. The change date is unknown, so the ingredient rows carry the USDA version date as `until`.

About this product
Mug Root Beer in the 20 fl oz (591 ml) plastic bottle is the single-serve pack of PepsiCo's caffeine-free root beer in the United States, distributed by PepsiCo, Inc. of Purchase, New York.[2] PepsiCo's fact sheet, updated in September 2026, counts the whole bottle as one serving of 260 calories and sweetens it with high fructose corn syrup.[3] An older USDA label record for the same barcode lists sugar instead.[4] PepsiCo states that the drink contains none of the nine major US food allergens.[5] A US hardware and garden chain sold it for $2.49 in September 2026,[1] and the barcode already named a 20 fl oz MUG Root Beer in 2007.[6]
More about this product
The drink was launched in San Francisco in 1940 as Belfast Root Beer and was sold through the 1950s as Belfast Old Fashioned Mug Root Beer before the name was shortened. PepsiCo bought the brand in 1986, and it replaced On-Tap Draft Style Root Beer as Pepsi's root beer.[7]

Coverage measures the evidence recorded here. It does not rate the product.
- Identity: 3 / 3 · Name, brand and classification recorded
- Context: 2 / 2 · Evidence groups assigned to a researched label, edition or analysis
- Label photographs: 0 / 2 · Researched contexts with an assigned photograph
- US 20 fl oz bottle, current maker data: nutrient evidence: 17 / 17 · Recorded nutrient rows linked to a source; not the number of nutrients that ought to exist
- US 20 fl oz bottle, earlier GDSN label record: nutrient evidence: 12 / 12 · Recorded nutrient rows linked to a source; not the number of nutrients that ought to exist
- ingredients · disputed: USDA's GDSN record (modified 2017-11-24) declares sugar; PepsiCo's current fact sheet and SmartLabel declare high fructose corn syrup. No label photograph confirms either, and the date or reason for the difference is unknown.
- identity · unknown: No source states a country of origin; US Mug Root Beer is filled by independent bottlers, so no country_of_origin or manufactured_by is recorded.
- images · unknown: Open Food Facts holds no photograph of this bottle, and the PepsiCo product images carry no reuse licence, so the page asks the community for one.
- evidence · stale: Evidence was observed over a year ago; check for newer labels. Historical evidence remains valid.
- images · not_researched: No product photographs recorded.
