FDA objects to Diet Coke health claims
TIMES WIRE REPORTS
Federal health regulators have scolded Coca-Cola Co. for placing inappropriate nutritional claims on its Diet Coke Plus soft drink.
The Food and Drug Administration issued a warning to the company objecting to the product’s labeling, which describes the drink as “Diet Coke with Vitamins and Minerals.”
According to the agency, foods labeled “plus” must have at least 10% more nutrients than comparable products.
Calls to the Atlanta company were not immediately returned.
