Label statement transcribed by USDA Branded Foods for this GTIN, record modified 2023-01-12 and published 2023-03-16. It still names ginseng, so it records the recipe as it stood before the January 2023 reformulation, under the new brand name.

Read from the shelf photograph uploaded to Open Food Facts on 2015-01-19; the UPC 0 12000 01881 7 is legible on the same label, so the photograph is this article and not a sibling size. The front reads pepsi MAX / zero calorie cola.

About this product
Pepsi Zero Sugar is PepsiCo's sugar-free cola, sold in the United States in this two-litre bottle and listed by American grocers under UPC 012000018817.[2] The barcode is older than the name: a bottle photographed on a shelf in January 2015 carries the same code beside a black Pepsi Max front label, and a back label reading "bottled under the authority of PepsiCo, Inc., Purchase, NY 10577".[1] PepsiCo later renamed the American drink Pepsi Zero Sugar, and in January 2023 reformulated it, removing the ginseng, lowering the caffeine to the level of regular Pepsi and reworking the sweetener blend.[3] The recipe recorded here is the earlier one, aspartame with acesulfame potassium, ginseng and 69 mg of caffeine per 12 fl oz serving, as USDA's Branded Foods record still described it in 2023.[4]
More about this product
The drink began in 1993 as Pepsi Max, launched outside the United States because acesulfame potassium was not yet approved there; it reached the American market in 2007 as Diet Pepsi Max, dropped the "Diet" in 2009, and keeps the Max name in Britain, Ireland, Scandinavia and Australia.[5]

- ingredients · stale: PepsiCo reformulated Pepsi Zero Sugar in the United States in January 2023, removing the ginseng, cutting caffeine to the level of regular Pepsi and reworking the sweetener system. No photograph or maker's page for the reformulated 2 L label was found, so both ingredient row sets describe the earlier recipe.
- nutrition · disputed: The pack prints 69 mg of caffeine per 12 fl oz; Open Food Facts types 10.7 mg per 100 ml, about 38 mg per 355 ml, which is the post-reformulation level. Neither figure has been checked against a current label.
- identity · unknown: The year PepsiCo replaced the Pepsi Max name with Pepsi Zero Sugar in the United States is not fixed by any source read for this entry; Wikipedia records only that the rename happened.
- markets · not_researched: Only United States evidence was found. Whether this GTIN is also scanned in Canada or elsewhere has not been researched.
- packaging · unknown: The bottling plant is not named on the pack, which states only that the drink is bottled under the authority of PepsiCo, Inc.
