Ingredients

Mountain Dew lists its ingredients as:

Mountain Dew (and its energy drink counterpart known as AMP) often incurs the disapproval of some health experts [2] due to its relatively high caffeine content for a soft drink (or energy drink), despite the fact that typical brewed coffee has a much higher caffeine dosage for equal volume. However, Mountain Dew marketed in Australia and Canada (see Dew Fuel/Mountain Dew Energy varieties below) — as well as several U.S. states — has no caffeine added at all (Health Canada states that caffeine can't be in non-cola food products[3]). Nevertheless, Mountain Dew contains tartrazine (“FD&C Yellow No. 5” in the US), which could lead to allergic reactions in some people. This has also led to a false urban legend that the Yellow No. 5 in Mountain Dew reduces the sperm count of male drinkers.

Recent reports to the Food and Drug Administration indicate that some soft drinks (especially of the diet variety) may contain high levels of benzene that are above the FDA's limit for public drinking water. [5] The source of the benzene appears to be from a reaction of ascorbic acid or erythorbic acid, and sodium benzoate. Mountain Dew contains erythorbic acid and sodium benzoate. However, calcium disodium EDTA and sugars have been shown to inhibit benzene creation, and Mountain Dew has not been found to have toxic levels of benzene; though benzene is present in the drink. There has been a call, recently, for soft drink companies to address the toxic chemical reaction that takes place in many similar beverages. [6] hi “FDA” redirects here. ...

Diet Mountain Dew contains aspartame. Mountain Dew's brominated vegetable oil (BVO) is another source of contention. More than 100 countries ban BVO for its adverse health effects. However, the exact quantity of bromine put into fat cells from BVO is questioned.

An old 10 US fluid ounce Johnson City, Tennessee Mountain Dew bottle (date unknown): "It'll tickle yore innards!"
  • Mountain Dew (1948) — Citrus flavored soda. [8] PepsiCo's original and most signature flavor in the Mountain Dew family.
    • Caffeine-Free Mountain Dew — Non-caffeinated Mountain Dew. Available throughout various parts of the United States and Canada. In Canada it is simply labeled as “Mountain Dew.” (see Dew Fuel for more information)
    • Diet Mountain Dew (1984) — No-calorie Mountain Dew. [9] Formerly known as “Sugar-Free Mountain Dew” until 1986. [10] In 2006, Diet Mountain Dew was reformulated - it is now sweetened with a blend of sucralose, aspartame, and acesulfame potassium. The previous formulation only used aspartame. The new "Tuned Up Taste" formula prompted a now defunct petition to restore the original formula by long-time Diet Mountain Dew drinkers unhappy with the change. Another site, now defunct NewDietDewIsYucky.com, featured an action list and critical commentary on the new formula. This effort's goal was the restoration of the original formula under the original label or under a new "Diet Mountain Dew Classic" (or similar) label.
      • Diet Mountain Dew Fountain — As indicated on the official Mountain Dew website, “Diet Mountain Dew Fountain is a variation of Diet Mountain Dew that uses treated water instead of carbonated water in its formula”. [11] Limited location availability.
      • Caffeine-Free Diet Mountain Dew — No-calorie, non-caffeinated Mountain Dew. Limited location availability. In Canada it is simply labeled as “Diet Mountain Dew.” (see Dew Fuel for more information)

Brand portfolio

  • Mountain Dew AMP Overdrive (2007) — Cherry flavored Mountain Dew AMP. This is AMP's equivalent of Code Red.
  • Dew Fuel (2002–2007) — A caffeinated version of Mountain Dew offered in Canada. [23] Mountain Dew is not caffeinated in Canada due to Health Canada regulations [24] that only allow caffeine in 'dark-coloured' varieties of soft drinks such as cola and root beer. The reason Dew Fuel is allowed to bypass Health Canada regulations and be sold is due to the fact that it is marketed as a natural health product and not as a soft drink. It mainly replaced Canada's (Caffeine-Free) Mountain Dew on store shelves, although many places still sold both drinks. Dew Fuel was originally called “Mountain Dew Energy” until given its present name in 2006. In early 2007, Pepsi-QTG Canada cited that Dew Fuel is out of production. According to emails from Pepsi-QTG Canada's consumer relations, [25] there are currently no plans to reintroduce the product as it did not sell as well as hoped. There is no official announcement on their website, though the Dew Fuel homepage [26] has been taken down. No longer available.

Non-Pepsi bottlers

Only two non-Pepsi franchises exist in the United States for the production of Mountain Dew. At the time of Mountain Dew's acquisition by Pepsi, there were 56 franchise agreements, only 16 of which were not held by a Pepsi bottler. The two remaining agreements are permanent; however, the size of their territories are believed to be small enough to make them insignificant to Pepsi. [29]

  • West Jefferson Dr Pepper (WJDP) of West Jefferson, NC. The company does not ship outside its contracted territory, however several Web sites sell the product at a premium price. The premium price can be justified by the fact that WJDP is the last bottler in the U.S. to produce Mountain Dew with cane sugar [30] (instead of High Fructose Corn Syrup, or HFCS). WJDP is notable for producing all their non-diet products with cane sugar, most of which are Cadbury Schweppes Americas Beverages (formerly Dr Pepper/Seven Up, Inc.) products.
  • RC Cola Bottling of Winchester, Winchester, VA. The company produces Mountain Dew, but uses High Fructose Corn Syrup (HFCS) like all Pepsi bottlers.
