About this product

Diet Pepsi 2 L is a two-litre bottle of PepsiCo's sugar-free cola for the United States, filed in USDA FoodData Central with Pepsi-Cola North America Inc. as brand owner.[1] Its label record, modified in January 2023, lists carbonated water, caramel color, aspartame, phosphoric acid, potassium benzoate, caffeine, citric acid, natural flavor and acesulfame potassium, with no calories, fat, carbohydrate, sugars or protein and 10 mg of sodium per 100 ml.[1] Aspartame is the sweetener Diet Pepsi returned to market-wide on 25 February 2018;[2] two other USDA records for 2 L Diet Pepsi bottles, 00012000163470 and 00012000163685, list sucralose instead.[3] [4] PepsiCo's product facts site answers "Product not found" for this barcode and lists its 67 fl oz Diet Pepsi under 00012000171765.[5] [6]

Diet Pepsi was introduced in the United States on 28 December 1964.[2] PepsiCo switched its sweetener to sucralose in August 2015, sold the aspartame recipe alongside it as Diet Pepsi Classic Sweetener Blend from September 2016, and brought aspartame back to the main line in 2018.[2] [7]

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
  • US label as transcribed by USDA, 2 L: nutrient evidence: 7 / 7 · Recorded nutrient rows linked to a source; not the number of nutrients that ought to exist
  • identity · stale: PepsiCo's product facts site answers "Product not found" for GTIN 00012000161094 and lists Diet Pepsi 67 fl oz (the 2 L size) under 00012000171765. Whether that article replaced this number, and whether this bottle is still made, is unconfirmed, so no status or successor is recorded.
  • nutrition · not_researched: Values are USDA's per-100 ml restatement of the label; the printed Nutrition Facts column (per 12 fl oz) and any caffeine amount are unread from a photograph. PepsiCo's page for the current 67 fl oz article prints 35 mg caffeine per 12 fl oz (360 mL) serving, a different barcode.
  • markets · not_researched: Amazon.com: searched on 2026-09-25 for "Diet Pepsi 2 liter", "Diet Pepsi Soda 67.6 fl oz bottle", "Diet Pepsi" and the barcode 012000161094; no listing of a 2 L Diet Pepsi bottle came up, and the size and flavour selectors of the Pepsi 67.6 fl oz listing (B000R9AL4E) and the Diet Pepsi 12 fl oz can listing (B079X6524F) offer no 2 L Diet Pepsi. No dated retail price.
  • images · not_researched: No photograph of this pack: Open Food Facts holds no record for this barcode and SmartLabel pages under 012000161094 answer 404.
  • identity · unknown: No source states a country of origin or bottler for this pack; US Pepsi drinks are filled by regional bottlers.
  • evidence · stale: Evidence was observed over a year ago; check for newer labels. Historical evidence remains valid.
  • images · not_researched: No product photographs recorded.
