About this product

Mountain Dew Code Red is the cherry-flavoured extension of PepsiCo's Mountain Dew, and this barcode is its 12-pack of 12 fl oz (355 ml) cans, 144 fl oz in all, for the United States.[1] USDA Branded Foods names Pepsi-Cola North America as brand owner and records a caffeinated recipe of carbonated water, high fructose corn syrup and concentrated orange juice, coloured with Red 40, Yellow 5 and Blue 1.[2] PepsiCo released Code Red to US stores in May 2001, after considering the name Wild Cherry Mountain Dew; it was the brand's first large-scale move beyond its flagship flavour and lifted Mountain Dew sales by six per cent in its first year.[3]

More about this product

The 2007 Barcodepedia entry for this UPC, copied from Amazon.com, described a pink leather case for a Creative Zen Vision:M player; every current source names the Code Red 12-pack.[4][2] PepsiCo has retired one of its two SmartLabel revisions for the barcode, both dated 24 May 2022.[5]

Where it's sold

Mountain Dew, Code Red, Dew With A Rush Of Cherry Flavor - S[1] sourced

Listing observed
Condition
new

PepsiCo's en-US SmartLabel page is keyed to UPC 012000100468 and names a Purchase, New York distributor; USDA Branded Foods records the article in its US market.[^usda] Giant Eagle carries the UPC in its listing URL and Kroger banners (Ralphs, Fry's, Smith's) list it as 0001200010046, without check digit, but those pages refused both fetchers, so no price is recorded.[^gianteagle][^ralphs]

A listing is evidence that this barcode is sold there, on that date; a price is what that listing showed, not a recommended price.

Coverage & research gaps (10)

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
  • United States label as captured by USDA Branded Foods (Label Insight): nutrient evidence: 8 / 8 · Recorded nutrient rows linked to a source; not the number of nutrients that ought to exist
  • nutrition · not_researched: PepsiCo's SmartLabel revisions for this UPC load their nutrition, ingredient and allergen tabs from a script, so the printed per-can panel and caffeine figure could not be transcribed.
  • identity · disputed: The archived 2007 Barcodepedia page for this UPC, copied from Amazon.com, titled it a pink leather case for a Creative Zen Vision:M player. USDA, PepsiCo's SmartLabel and retailer listings all name this Code Red 12-pack, so the old title is treated as an Amazon data error.
  • identity · unknown: Kroger, Meijer and Dollar General list a Code Red 12 × 12 fl oz can pack under a second UPC, 012000809989; whether it is a different carton (such as a Fridge Mate) or a replacement was not established.
  • markets · not_researched: Retailer listings for this UPC (Giant Eagle and Kroger banners) refused both fetchers, so no dated price was recorded.
  • images · unknown: No openly licensed photo of this pack was found; Open Food Facts holds no record for the barcode.
  • evidence · stale: Evidence was observed over a year ago; check for newer labels. Historical evidence remains valid.
