Summary
This 8-K filing from PepsiCo, Inc. (PEP) on February 19, 2009, is primarily informational, announcing the simultaneous filing of its Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 27, 2008. The key aspect of this 8-K is the submission of the 10-K data formatted in XBRL (eXtensible Business Reporting Language) as an exhibit.
