Pepsi Black
by Pepsi · Soft drink · USA
Sugar-free version of Pepsi, from PepsiCo, sold in Brazil as Pepsi Black Zero Açúcar. The drink is the same line launched in 1993 as Pepsi Max, which keeps the name Pepsi Black in markets such as Brazil, Mexico and Argentina. In the country, only Ambev can bottle, sell and distribute the brand, under a long-term contract with PepsiCo.
The formula contains no sugar. The ingredient list includes carbonated water, caramel color IV, the acidity regulators phosphoric acid, sodium citrate and citric acid, the sweeteners aspartame and acesulfame potassium, caffeine and natural extracts. Because of the aspartame, the pack states that the product contains phenylalanine.
