Pepsi product ingredients from Pepsi.com
�
We [the makers of Pepsi] only use the finest ingredients to make Pepsi-Cola products. To guarantee our consumers consistent quality, each ingredient must pass Pepsi-Cola's high standards, rigorous quality control tests and strict bottling procedures.
All ingredients are listed on the label in order of decreasing amount. Pepsi-Cola products contain natural flavors, including extracts of the kola nut, vanilla beans and flavor oils derived from natural sources such as citrus and other fruits. Caramel (made from corn sugar) adds color and flavor to our colas. Other ingredients add a refreshing taste: phosphoric acid in colas; citric acid and sodium citrate in Mountain Dew, Slice and Diet Pepsi.
We also put a freshness date on every can and bottle. Soft drinks may lose some flavor over time so our freshness date tells consumers when the product is freshest and best tasting.
Every can and bottle of Pepsi-Cola products has a Nutrition Facts panel, which shows the number of calories and other nutrients per serving. There is essentially no fat in any Pepsi-Cola products. The main ingredients found in Pepsi-Cola products include carbonated water, carbohydrates, sugar, sodium, potassium and caffeine. For a complete breakdown by ingredients by product, select Pepsi, Diet Pepsi, Pepsi ONE, Mountain Dew, Slice, All Sport, Mug Root Beer, Aquafina or FruitWorks.
Total Carbohydrates: Total carbohydrates include the sugars and any carbohydrate-like parts of ingredients, such as organic acids. Although diet drinks may have no sugar, they may contain more than half a gram of carbohydrate.
Sugar: Regular soft drinks and sports drinks are sweetened with sugar. There are many types of sugar available today. In soft drinks and sports drinks, the sugar is primarily high fructose corn syrup, which comes from corn. About half the sugar has been converted to fructose so that the taste is almost identical to table sugar (which comes from sugar cane or sugar beets). Our bodies treat all of these sugars in the same way. Sugars are listed in grams per serving on the Nutrition Facts panel on the label.
Aspartame: Aspartame is a sugar substitute used in our diet beverages and many other food products. Aspartame is made of the same building blocks as protein, so it is considered a "nutritive sweetener," but the very small amounts used in diet drinks contribute no calories.
Acesulfame-K: Acesulfame-K (or "Ace-K") is a non-nutritive, calorie-free sweetener. A blend of Acesulfame Potassium and Nutrasweet is used to provide taste and sweetness to Pepsi ONE.
Sodium: All of our products are "low sodium" and contain less than 110 mg per eight-fluid- ounce serving. A number of beverages have less than 35 mg sodium per serving, so they are considered "very low sodium" products.
Potassium: Potassium in Pepsi-Cola products may come from water or as part of certain ingredients. For example, potassium may be combined with benzoic acid, which helps prevent spoilage and flavor changes. Potassium is an electrolyte that helps meet the mineral needs of active people, and it is especially added to All Sport products.
