Open Food Facts image uploaded 2021-01-05 (imgid 2), a product rendering of the six-bottle pack printed "6-16.9 FL OZ BOTTLES (101.4 FL OZ) 6-500 mL BOTTLES (3 L)" with the flash "Now aspartame free". That claim belongs to the sucralose recipe Diet Pepsi sold in the United States from August 2015 until aspartame returned in 2018, so the image shows an older pack than the aspartame statement the maker now publishes; the upload date is not the date of the pack.

About this product

Diet Pepsi in a pack of six 16.9 fl oz (500 mL) bottles is a United States multipack of PepsiCo's sugar-free cola, 101.4 fl oz (3 L) in all, distributed by PepsiCo, Inc.[2] USDA Branded Foods records it under this UPC with Pepsi-Cola North America Inc. as brand owner.[1] PepsiCo's SmartLabel page for the pack sweetens it with aspartame and acesulfame potassium, gives 50 mg of caffeine per bottle, and prints a zero-calorie panel with 50 mg sodium per bottle; photographed bottle labels show the same figures and the phenylalanine warning.[2][3] Diet Pepsi was test marketed as Patio Diet Cola in 1963 and launched nationally the following year as the first diet cola distributed across the United States.[4]

The grey shrink wrap in the Open Food Facts front image carries the flash "Now aspartame free", the claim of the sucralose recipe PepsiCo sold in the United States from August 2015 until aspartame returned in 2018.[3][4] The earliest SmartLabel version for this UPC, dated 24 May 2022 and since retired, already listed aspartame.[5]

  • markets · unknown: amazon.com (Amazon US): searches on 2026-09-25 for the barcode 012000171956, "diet pepsi 16.9 fl oz 6 pack", "diet pepsi 16.9 oz bottles", "pepsi diet cola 500ml bottles" and the brand "diet pepsi" returned no Diet Pepsi bottle listing (results were other brands, Pepsi mini cans and B0D2FJSC3V, a Diet Coke caffeine-free 12-bottle pack); the Diet Pepsi can listing B079X6524F offers only 12 fl oz can variants in its selector.
  • markets · unknown: No dated retail price for this pack is cited.

  • ingredients · disputed: The typed ingredient text on the Open Food Facts record (sodium citrate, potassium sorbate, "colour (caramel e150d)") matches neither the photographed bottle labels nor PepsiCo's SmartLabel and USDA statements, which list potassium benzoate and no sodium citrate; it reads like another market's recipe.
  • images · disputed: The only image of the six-pack itself is a rendering of the "Now aspartame free" wrap from the 2015-2018 sucralose period; no photograph of the current aspartame pack exists.
