New healthier coca cola to be released in UK
Coca-Cola has announced plans to launch a new version of coke with less sugar and fewer calories as part of government and industry efforts to tackle obesity.
Life contains a third less sugar and calories than the original.
The new installment of beverage – in green labelling – will go on sale in Britain in September after a pilot in Argentina and Chile.
Coca-Cola Life is sweetened with sugar and stevia leaf extract.
A 330ml can will contain 22.1 grams of sugar – 25 per cent of an adult’s guideline daily amount (GDA).
This is a dramatic slash on the 35 grams found in a regular Coke.
Life is the first new Coca-Cola since Coke Zero was launched in 2006.
