Common questions

Is Pepsi Max healthy?

Pepsi Max scores 36/100 on Tallow — our avoid band. That number comes from what is on the label: the ingredients, how processed it is, and what it is packaged in. It is not a verdict on your diet — Tallow does not weigh calories, portion size or how often you eat it, so a high score means the ingredients are clean, not that the food is unlimited.

What is in Pepsi Max?

Pepsi Max lists 8 ingredients, starting with Carbonated Water, Caramel Color, Aspartame, Acesulfame k and Phosphoric Acid. Ingredients are listed in descending order by weight, so the first few make up most of what you are eating.

Does Pepsi Max contain seed oils?

No. Nothing in Pepsi Max’s ingredient list matches a seed oil — canola, soybean, corn, cottonseed, grapeseed, sunflower, safflower, rice bran or peanut oil, or an unspecified "vegetable oil".

How processed is Pepsi Max?

We don’t have a NOVA classification on file for Pepsi Max yet, so the processing axis scores it neutrally.

How does Pepsi Max compare to other soda & soft drinks?

At 36/100 Pepsi Max scores worse than most soda & soft drinks we have scored. A higher-scoring option in soda & soft drinks is Vichy Catalan Agua con Gas at 100/100.

Is Pepsi Max organic?

Pepsi Max is not certified organic in our data.

Has Pepsi Max been lab tested?

Not yet. No independent lab has published results for Pepsi Max, so its score is based on its ingredient list, processing and packaging alone.
