                                Explanatory Note

     We are filing this Amendment No. 1 to the Quarterly  Report on Form 10-Q of
The Pepsi Bottling  Group,  Inc. for the quarterly  period ended March 22, 2003,
previously filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on May 6, 2003 (the
"Quarterly Report"), to effect the amendment described below.

     Item 4,  Controls  and  Procedures,  has  been  amended  to  eliminate  the
paragraph  titled  "Limitations  on  the  Effectiveness  of  Controls"  and  any
references thereto.

     This  Amendment  amends  only Item 4 of the  Quarterly  Report and does not
otherwise update disclosures for events that occurred subsequent to the original
filing date of the Quarterly Report.

                                     PART I

Item 4.  Controls and Procedures
         -----------------------

     Within 90 days prior to the filing date of this report,  PBG carried out an
evaluation,  under the supervision and with the participation of our management,
including the Chief Executive Officer and the Chief Financial Officer of PBG, of
the  effectiveness  and design and  operation  of our  disclosure  controls  and
procedures pursuant to the Exchange Act Rule 13a-14. Based upon that evaluation,
the Chief Executive  Officer and the Chief Financial  Officer concluded that our
disclosure  controls and  procedures  are  effective in timely  alerting them to
material information relating to PBG and its consolidated  subsidiaries required
to be included in PBG's periodic  filings with the SEC. In addition,  there were
no significant  changes in our internal  controls or in other factors that could
significantly  affect these internal controls subsequent to the date of our most
recent evaluation.
