Our entire range is suitable for vegetarian and vegan diets, apart from Diet Pepsi which isn’t suitable for vegans.

We don't manufacture products specifically for such diets, our products in their sold states do not hold a recognised certification of conformity. We do not actively seek out information from our ingredients suppliers regarding their suitability for Halal or Kosher diets, however if this is provided by the supplier we will keep this data on file.

The Pepsi range are all non-alcoholic soft drinks. We do not add alcohol to our Pepsi drinks.

The Pepsi range contain low levels of caffeine but for those trying to avoid it completely, give Pepsi MAX No Caffeine or Diet Pepsi Caffeine Free a try.

Unfortunately not, our Pepsi Spire machines with flavour shots have been made for consumers to have a unique Pepsi experience which they can create themselves whilst having a meal with family and friends. These flavours aren’t available in bottles or cans at the moment but give Pepsi MAX Cherry, Raspberry or Lime a try!
