Coke, Pepsi alter drink recipe
NEW YORK: Coca-Cola Co and PepsiCo Inc are changing the way they make the caramel coloring used in their sodas as a result of a California law that mandates drinks containing a certain level of carcinogens bear a cancer warning label.
The companies said the changes will be expanded nationally to streamline their manufacturing processes. The changes have already been made for drinks sold in California.
Coca-Cola and PepsiCo account for almost 90 percent of the soda market, according to industry tracker Beverage Digest. A representative for Dr Pepper Snapple Group Inc said all its caramel coloring now meet the new California standard.

Wonder whats the level of carcinogens that a drink is allowed to contain...
well, they were not good earlier and they are not good now as well. Still people go and drink
Had no clue these sodas were so harmfull. Cancer warnings? Wow...that toxic? And to think its taken them so long to make such a decision!
I for one am glad at the reduced carcinogens, but alarmed they were there in the first place!
No wonder they both taste worse then they tasted before. I heard they were going to rebrand the colas as re modified and with more health warnings
