Pepsi Max is a zero-calorie cola found in the UK, New Zealand, Australia, and other non-USA markets.

Pepsi Max in the USA was rebranded as Pepsi Zero Sugar in 2016. It's important to note that the name Max is meant to indicate Maximum Taste - not the amount of caffeine. 

The amount listed above (42.6 mg) was what the manufacturer disclosed up until 2023. From then on the amounts have not been disclosed.

The response from the Pepsi distributor in the UK (last queried in 2025):
"Unfortunately we are not permitted to share the exact quantities of any flavouring (including caffeine) due to the commercially sensitive nature of this information."

This is is inline with a trecent rend of manufacturers of soft drinks - only listing caffeine as a 'flavor', and not listing caffeine amounts on the nutrition label.

It demonstrates the company's values: prioritising commercial 'success' over the health of its customers.

Pepsi Max is available is multiple sizes as well as multiple flavors (varies by region):

• Cherry
• Raspberry
• Ginger
• Vanilla
