Atlanta, GA – Coca-Cola Co.’s claims that Diet Coke Plus contains vitamins and minerals violate U.S. regulations, the Food and Drug Administration said in a letter to the soft-drink maker.

Coca-Cola, based in Atlanta, should “take prompt action to correct these violations,” said the letter, posted today on the FDA’s Web site.
The product is misbranded because it includes the content claim “plus but doesn’t comply with the regulations governing the use of this claim,” according to the Dec. 10 letter, signed by Roberta Wagner, the director, office of compliance, at the Center of Food Safety and Applied Nutrition.
“The FDA does not consider it appropriate to fortify snack foods such as carbonated beverages,” the agency said.
There is no saturated fat in it too. It must be healthy
if coke can make a mistake then so can rubashkin
I can’t believe people believed this in the first place. Then again, a sucker is born every minute.
“The FDA does not consider it appropriate to fortify snack foods such as carbonated beverages,” the agency said.
The FDA offers no explanation of why it is not appropriate. My opinion:
This is just another attack on the concept of vitamins for preventing disease and malnutrition.
The FDA works very closely with the patent drug companies, and these corrupt Wall Street gangsters would prefer that you get sick, so that they could feed you drugs to control your symptoms for the rest of your life.
To the drug companies and their FDA enforcers, you are nothing more than a cashcow to be milked forever.
I remember seeing some jelly snack vitamin c fortified. Anyone know what it is?
BS”D
Chances are that the phosphoric acid and other dreck in Coke counteract any value the vitamins may have.
