No photograph of this pack exists on Open Food Facts and no retrievable retailer page reproduces the label, so the ingredient statement is the Label Insight transcription published by USDA FoodData Central (record dated 2023-03-16); Open Food Facts repeats the same sentence word for word and is not independent corroboration. PepsiCo's own product facts page for the barcode, whose package image is dated 2025-08-08, and its SmartLabel record, updated 2025-02-14, describe the same article and are the source of the printed serving figures.

A zero stated on the panel is a number; retailers list the article as caffeine free.
Only the caffeine and phosphorus figures could be read: the Nutrition Facts label on the maker's page is drawn by a script and the values are not in the served HTML, so the printed calorie, sugar and sodium column is not transcribed here.

Scaled back to the printed 360 ml serving these figures give about 180 kcal, 47 g of sugars and 61 mg of sodium.

About this product
Mug Cream Soda in the two-litre bottle, 67.6 fl oz, is the large-format pack of the cream soda that PepsiCo sells beside the better known Mug Root Beer.[2] PepsiCo's own United States product facts site publishes this barcode as "Mug Cream Soda - 67 fl oz", with a printed serving of 12 fl oz (360 ml), about six to the bottle, and no caffeine.[1] The label registered to Pepsi-Cola North America Inc. declares carbonated water, high fructose corn syrup, natural and artificial flavor, sodium benzoate, citric acid, caramel color, yucca mohave extract and calcium disodium EDTA.[3] PepsiCo's SmartLabel record for the same barcode names PepsiCo, Inc. of Purchase, New York as the distributor.[4] The barcode has identified this article since at least 2007, when the first Barcodepedia listed it as "Mug Cream Soda, 2 Liter Bottle, 67.6 fl oz".[5]
More about this product
Mug began as Belfast Root Beer, launched in 1940 in San Francisco by the Belfast Beverage Company, by then owned by New Century Beverage Company; the name was shortened to Mug Root Beer in the 1950s and PepsiCo bought the brand in 1986. Mug Cream Soda and Diet Mug Cream Soda were added later and have never been as widely distributed as the root beer.[2]
Where it's sold
🇺🇸 United States
The Facts About Your Favorite Foods and Beverages (U.S.)[1] sourced
- Listing observed
PepsiCo's United States product facts site publishes this GTIN as "Mug Cream Soda - 67 fl oz" with a package image dated 2025-08-08, and the SmartLabel record for the same barcode is a US English label; USDA Branded Foods holds it as a US retail label record. US grocery listings that carry the barcode in their product URL (ShopRite, King Kullen, Kroger, Safeway) all refused server-side retrieval with HTTP 403, so no dated retail 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.

- nutrition · not_researched: The printed Nutrition Facts column (12 fl oz) is drawn by a script on PepsiCo's product facts page and is absent from the served HTML, so only the per-100 ml conversion published by USDA and the printed serving size, caffeine and phosphorus figures are recorded.
- identity · unknown: No source states a country of origin for this pack, and US Mug is filled by independent bottlers under the authority of New Century Beverage Company, so no filling plant is named.
