About Rockstar Energy
Rockstar Energy is an energy drink brand owned by PepsiCo (acquired 2020), sold at grocery chains, convenience stores, and mass retailers in the US.

Common concerns with Rockstar Energy products
Rockstar Energy drinks contain acesulfame-K and sucralose in sugar-free varieties, and the flavored lineup includes artificial colors such as Red 40, Blue 1, and Yellow 5 in various SKUs. Some varieties contain sodium benzoate as a preservative. The combination of artificial dyes, artificial sweeteners, and very high caffeine makes Rockstar Energy a significantly flagged beverage, particularly for young consumers.
