Do You Know What You're Drinking? Coca-Cola, Pepsi, and Dr Pepper Integrate Method to Learn About Their Ingredients
· Telemundo McAllen (KTLM)
The largest American non-alcoholic beverage companies will add safety information about their ingredients to the QR code links on their packaging, giving consumers access to more information about the contents of their products. This initiative is led by the American Beverage Association (ABA), the trade group representing major beverage companies such as Keurig Dr Pepper, PepsiCo, and The Coca-Cola Co. In an unusual show of unity, these companies, which typically compete against each other, are collaborating on this effort. Participating brands include Coke, Pepsi, Dr Pepper, Celsius, Monster Energy, Polar Beverages, and Red Bull. Consumers who scan the QR codes will have the option to open GoodToKnowFacts.org, a website launched by the ABA last year, which contains information about over 140 ingredients commonly found in packaged beverages. For each ingredient, the site offers a brief description, other foods or drinks that use it, and whether it is approved by food safety regulatory agencies, including the Food and Drug Administration (FDA), the European Food Safety Authority, and Health Canada.
