About this product

Diet Pepsi 2 L is a two-litre plastic bottle of PepsiCo's sugar-free cola sold in the United States, its silver label carrying the line "Classic Diet Pepsi Taste" and a deposit code, and bottled under the authority of PepsiCo, Inc. of Purchase, New York.[2][3] Its label lists carbonated water, caramel color, aspartame, phosphoric acid, potassium benzoate, caffeine, citric acid, natural flavor and acesulfame potassium, with 0 calories, 35 mg sodium and 35 mg caffeine per 12 fl oz serving.[2] PepsiCo's SmartLabel page for this UPC, last updated in May 2022, is marked as retired, and its product facts site no longer lists the barcode.[4][5] Oklahoma's Healthy Food Waiver list of January 2026 names it "Pepsi Diet Soda Classic 2 Liter".[1]

Diet Pepsi was launched nationally in the United States in 1964 as the first diet cola distributed across the country.[6] PepsiCo's product facts site lists Diet Pepsi 67 fl oz, the 2 litre size, under the barcode 012000171765, and an Amazon.com listing names both barcodes for one Diet Pepsi 2 litre bottle.[7][8] The USDA Branded Foods record for this barcode, available from April 2023, describes it as "Classic Diet Cola" with the same recipe.[9]

  • identity · disputed: The family page calls this barcode "Diet Pepsi Classic Sweetener Blend 2 L", the light-blue aspartame edition of September 2016; the pack photographed in 2020 and 2021 and PepsiCo's SmartLabel image show the silver label with the line "Classic Diet Pepsi Taste", and the label recipe matches the regular aspartame Diet Pepsi of 2018 onward. Whether the barcode was first issued for the 2016 edition is open.
  • identity · disputed: The Amazon.com listing B079D8FG3F prints both UPC 012000171765, the barcode PepsiCo's product facts site now shows for Diet Pepsi 67 fl oz, and 012000172526; the page follows the maker's separate SmartLabel page for each barcode and leaves open whether 012000171765 replaced this one.
