PepsiCo was a Agriculture, food and drink good articles nominee, but did not meet the good article criteria at the time. There may be suggestions below for improving the article. Once these issues have been addressed, the article can be renominated. Editors may also seek a reassessment of the decision if they believe there was a mistake. | ||||||||||

I removed the biased reference, now showing that PepsiCo started a collaboration with Senomyx. The middle of the section the reference is not bias, it is showing that groups did boycott, and that PepsiCo responded but, less on the response more on that groups did call for a boycott. Also the section doesn't take a stance on the moral or ethical implications of this. Though this section and the following might be better in a new heading like on subways page titled "Controversies." Navstev0 (talk) 20:29, 21 February 2012 (UTC)
This edit added a Controversy section that was unsupported by the link provided [1]. Per WP:BRD, I'm reverting the addition, and welcome discussion. JoeSperrazza (talk) 20:02, 25 April 2011 (UTC)
From the article, I copied the following sentence: "PepsiCo also distributes the soft drink 7UP in Europe via license agreement." The above statement about distribution is news to me because I live in the UK, where Pepsi and Mountain Dew are distributed under licence by Britvic Soft Drinks Ltd., making it more than likely that they're sub-licenced to distribute 7UP as well.

Frawg is an unremarkable product itself, but would make a nice little section on the page about PepsiCo. Technical 13 (talk) 12:39, 21 May 2013 (UTC)
Be it pharma, soft drinks, fmcg, tobacco, consumer electronics or anything: these multinational companies are a set of thieves and plunderers. They plunder people's money, health, peace-of-mind, and keep innocent people in illusion that life is beautiful, and is a cozy bed of roses.

The section on the Soviet Union relies on a single secondary source. Here are some contemporary news articles which can be used to improve the accuracy and citations for the section:

Remove environmental criticisms from summary and add to criticisms or environmental impact section. If that's not possible, add environmental criticisms to Nestle and Coca Cola summaries as there are plenty of scholarly sources to cite for those two as well.

Two grammatical corrections: (1) Location: 2nd paragraph of article; first word of 2nd sentence: Change Pepsico to PepsiCo with a capital "C". (2) Location: 2nd paragraph of article; 3rd sentence: Change "market capitalization; PepsiCo is..." to "capitalization, PepsiCo..." with a comma instead of a semi-colon.

One of the first sentences in the body section of the article describes PepsiCo as operating in over 200 countries…? 173.54.54.157 (talk) 14:33, 31 December 2021 (UTC)
Why is the brief section about GMO included under "Environmental Record"? There's absolutely nothing about their any-kind-of record in the tiny text there, let alone environmental. 2001:4898:A800:1010:520:A563:CC9A:AC1A (talk) 23:36, 18 January 2022 (UTC)
We have a large article on criticism of Coca-Cola but this article on PepsiCo didn't even have a criticism section. I notice some of the criticism is present in other sections (about environment or nutrition). I do wonder if we don't have a PR shill problem (is there someone on PepsiCo's payroll removing negative content from this article...?). We certainly do need an article on criticism of PepsiCo.

The line, "PepsiCo re-negotiated a US$3 billion deal to exchange syrup for vodka and a small fleet of decommissioned Soviet warships including 17 submarines, a frigate, a cruiser and a destroyer," doesn't seem right. From several sources, including some of the ones cited here, it seems that the $3 billion deal in 1990 was something else entirely or that the flotilla was only a small part of the deal, so there seems to be a conflating of events. Here's another article about it. There seems to be so much misinformation about this that it's difficult to tell what's true and isn't. SonOfPlisskin (talk) 22:07, 4 July 2022 (UTC)
PEPSICO Under the 'Soviet' section, Nixon is listed as PRESIDENT in 1959. Nixon was VICE PRESIDENT in 1959 and did not become PRESIDENT until 1968. 72.66.32.192 (talk) 15:35, 5 July 2022 (UTC)

In the Soviet Union section of the page on the very last line it claims that the deal for the old navy vessels did not take place, however both links that are listed as sources (57, 58) say that the deal DID go through. This seems to be a contradiction. Wyattshumaker (talk) 02:28, 3 February 2023 (UTC)

In late 2023, PepsiCo announced the third year of its global agriculture program, the Positive Agriculture Outcomes (PAO) Accelerator, by backing eight new innovation projects to address some of the most urgent challenges facing agriculture across nine countries. <ref title=PepsiCo’s Global Agriculture Initiative: Accelerating Positive Outcomes and Sustainable Innovations|website=Prolific News|date=November 21, 2013 |url=https://prolificnews.com/pepsicos-global-agriculture-initiative-accelerating-positive-outcomes-and-sustainable-innovation/%7Caccess-date=November 21, 2023))</ref> Glyle2 (talk) 18:18, 22 November 2023 (UTC)
Among the products it produces I saw no mention of Quaker Oats Oatmeal Squares. Do they only produce the mentioned Cap'n Crunch and Life cereals? There is also a snack mix that Quaker makes that includes the Oatmeal Squares product. I get that this could be a Frito Lay product, but is it produced by QF NA also? If not I can add in the above mentioned product. Thanks!THX1136 (talk) 17:24, 22 December 2023 (UTC)
