Does 7UP support Israel?
Yes — 7UP has documented support for Israel on record. Every claim below links to its source.
Filed under: Food & beverage brands · Companies that support Israel
Background
7UP is owned by Keurig Dr Pepper in the United States and by PepsiCo everywhere else, so the Israeli market sits on the PepsiCo side. No donation, statement or campaign concerning Israel has been documented for the 7UP brand itself. What is documented is commercial: PepsiCo licensed the Israeli company Tempo in August 1991 and 7UP has been made in Israel by Tempo — an independent Israeli company 40% owned by Heineken International — since 1992, a fact Tempo restates in its own securities filings. Parent-level actions are attributed to PepsiCo on its page: the PepsiCo Foundation's $1 million October 2023 pledge to humanitarian organizations serving both Israel and Gaza with 2-to-1 employee matching, and the $3.2 billion acquisition of Israel's SodaStream in 2018. 7UP was created in St. Louis, Missouri, in 1928. The BDS movement's official target list names PepsiCo-owned SodaStream, not 7UP.

Timeline of documented support
Documented support
| Type | Date | Amount | Recipient | Sources |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Operations in Israel | 1991-08 | — | Tempo Beer Industries (independent Israeli licensee) 7UP's brand rights are split: Keurig Dr Pepper owns 7UP in the United States, while PepsiCo owns it internationally — so Israel falls to PepsiCo. In August 1991 PepsiCo (the parent corporation, not the 7UP brand as an actor) granted the Israeli company Tempo Beer Industries the licence to produce Pepsi, 7Up and Mirinda in Israel, ending PepsiCo's decades-long absence from the Israeli market during the Arab League boycott era; production began at a plant Tempo built in Netanya, and the drinks went on sale in May 1992. | |
| Operations in Israel | 2021 | — | Tempo Beverages Ltd. — Netanya (Israel) Tempo Beverages Ltd.'s 2021 periodic report, filed with the Israel Securities Authority, names "Pepsi," "Mirinda" and "Seven Up" among the brands it holds under exclusive distribution agreements in Israel — a primary-document confirmation that 7UP in Israel is manufactured and distributed by the independent licensee, not by PepsiCo and not by any 7UP entity. Tempo Beverages is an Israeli company jointly held by Tempo Beer Industries and Heineken International (40%); there is no 7UP subsidiary in Israel. |
