Brands Owned by PepsiCo: The Full List (2026)
PepsiCo owns far more than its namesake cola. A supermarket basket containing Lay’s, Doritos, Quaker oats, Gatorade, bubly and Siete can send money to the same parent company without the shopper ever seeing “PepsiCo” on the front of a package.
The company describes itself as a portfolio of more than 500 brands. Its products are consumed more than one billion times a day across more than 200 countries and territories, according to PepsiCo’s corporate profile.
This guide separates brands PepsiCo owns from joint ventures, licenses and products it merely distributes. Ownership varies by country, so the label and local brand website remain the final check.
PepsiCo’s major drink brands
PepsiCo’s beverage portfolio includes:
- Pepsi, Diet Pepsi and Pepsi Zero Sugar
- Mountain Dew and its flavor extensions
- Gatorade, Gatorade Zero and Propel
- Aquafina
- bubly
- SodaStream
- poppi, acquired by PepsiCo in 2025
- Rockstar Energy in markets where PepsiCo owns the brand
- Sting Energy, Mirinda and 7UP in various international markets
Its current US brand directory also includes Brisk and other regional products. PepsiCo’s official brand list is the best starting point, but it does not explain every ownership structure.
Snack brands owned by PepsiCo
Through its Frito-Lay businesses, PepsiCo owns many of the world’s most familiar snack labels:
- Lay’s and Walkers
- Doritos
- Cheetos
- Fritos
- Ruffles
- Tostitos
- SunChips
- Smartfood
- Funyuns
- Cracker Jack
- Miss Vickie’s
- Stacy’s
- PopCorners
- Sabritas and other regional snack portfolios
These are not loose distribution relationships. PepsiCo’s 2025 annual report identifies Cheetos, Doritos, Fritos, Lay’s, Ruffles and Tostitos among the brands made and sold through PepsiCo Foods North America.
Breakfast, pantry and newer food brands
PepsiCo’s food holdings extend beyond crisps and fizzy drinks:
- Quaker oats and snacks
- Cap’n Crunch
- Pearl Milling Company
- Rice-A-Roni and Near East in relevant markets
- Gamesa biscuits
- Sabra dips, now wholly owned after PepsiCo bought the remaining stake in 2024
- Siete Foods, acquired for $1.2 billion and added in January 2025
- Bare Snacks and Off the Eaten Path
PepsiCo’s own 2026 identity announcement highlights Tostitos, Gatorade, Quaker, Siete and poppi as examples of a portfolio that now exceeds 500 brands.
Brands PepsiCo works with but may not own
This is where many online lists become misleading.
PepsiCo sells ready-to-drink Starbucks beverages through a partnership, but it does not own Starbucks. It has operated ready-to-drink Lipton products through a joint venture with Unilever rather than owning the Lipton brand outright.
In the United States, PepsiCo also manufactures or distributes some Dr Pepper, Crush and Schweppes products under licenses from Keurig Dr Pepper. Distribution does not equal ownership. The same warning applies to products associated with Tropicana Beverages Group and Celsius Holdings.
Even 7UP differs by market: PepsiCo handles it in many countries, while Keurig Dr Pepper owns the US rights. A globally accurate answer therefore needs a country attached to it.
What does PepsiCo’s ethics profile show?
Brand ownership matters because corporate policies and controversies can flow across a portfolio. Mashinii’s current PepsiCo ethics profile records negative scores in Better Health for All (-60), Respect for Cultures & Communities (-50), Honest & Fair Business (-40), Fair Pay & Worker Respect (-30), and Planet-Friendly Business (-20).
Those figures reflect documented evidence under our methodology; they are not a verdict on every product or employee. A score of zero means that our database has no verified adverse record in that category, not that a company has been certified ethical.
The health question is especially relevant for a company spanning sugary drinks and highly processed snacks, although PepsiCo has expanded lower-sugar, functional and alternative-ingredient products. In 2026 the company said it was cutting prices and adjusting products as consumer demand shifted. Those commercial changes do not, by themselves, resolve the wider health, labour or environmental record.
The practical takeaway
If you are trying to avoid or support a parent company, the logo on the front is not enough. Check the manufacturer line on the package, because PepsiCo’s ownership and licensing arrangements change by country.
