About this product

Diet Pepsi Lemon in a pack of twelve 12 fl oz (355 ml) cans is a United States multipack of PepsiCo's sugar-free cola with lemon flavour, recorded by USDA Branded Foods as "Lemon Diet Cola" under this UPC with Pepsi-Cola North America Inc. as brand owner, a 144 fl oz (4.26 L) package and one can as the serving.[1] The label statement USDA holds sweetens it with aspartame and adds potassium citrate and calcium disodium EDTA to the plain cola's ingredients.[1] Lemon is one of several flavours, with wild cherry, vanilla and lime, that Diet Pepsi has been sold in over the years.[2]

USDA holds a second twelve-can Lemon barcode, 012000028571, with an identical record.[3] Diet Pepsi was test marketed as Patio in 1963 and renamed the following year, becoming the first diet cola distributed nationally in the United States.[2]

Coverage & research gaps (7)

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

  • Identity: 3 / 3 · Name, brand and classification recorded
  • Context: 1 / 1 · Evidence groups assigned to a researched label, edition or analysis
  • Label photographs: 0 / 1 · Researched contexts with an assigned photograph
  • United States label as recorded by USDA Branded Foods: nutrient evidence: 7 / 7 · Recorded nutrient rows linked to a source; not the number of nutrients that ought to exist
  • markets · not_researched: No dated retail listing or price for this barcode. amazon.com checked on 2026-09-25 with searches for "Diet Pepsi Lemon 12 pack", for "Diet Pepsi" and for 012000028588: the store's search pages returned no readable results to a direct fetch, and a web search restricted to amazon.com for "Diet Pepsi Lemon" found only plain Diet Pepsi listings. A web search for the 12- and 11-digit forms of the barcode returned no retailer page printing it.
  • evidence · not_researched: PepsiCo's product-facts site answers "Invalid Product" for this GTIN on 2026-09-25; no archived maker page for the Lemon flavour was found, so no status or last_seen is recorded.
  • identity · disputed: USDA holds two twelve-can Lemon barcodes with identical records, 00012000028571 and this one; which pack each was printed on is unresolved.
  • nutrition · not_researched: Values are USDA's per-100 ml restatement, not a transcription of the printed panel; the printed per-can column, caffeine content and the phenylketonurics statement are unread.
  • images · not_researched: No photograph of this pack: Open Food Facts has no record for this barcode, and retailer photographs carry no reusable licence.
  • evidence · stale: Evidence was observed over a year ago; check for newer labels. Historical evidence remains valid.
  • images · not_researched: No product photographs recorded.
