The global food giant said on Monday that two-thirds of its single serving drinks will have 100 or fewer calories from added sugar by 2025.

PepsiCo said the change was driven by shifting consumer needs and new dietary guidelines from the World Health Organization.

Many customers have tapered their intake of high-sugar, high-calorie soft drinks from Pepsi and Coca-Cola due to worries about sugar consumption. But at the same time, diet beverages have also been falling out of favor as consumers worry about chemicals in their drinks.

Both Pepsi and Coke have been trying to adapt to changing consumer tastes.

Pepsi announced last year it would stop using the artificial sweetener aspartame due to declining sales and health concerns. Scientific studies have linked artificial sweeteners to obesity and diabetes.

But PepsiCo reintroduced aspartame to some products in September, saying consumers wanted more choices.

Along with its commitment to cut calories in its sugary drinks over the next decade, Pepsi also said it would reduce levels of saturated fat and sodium in the majority of its products.

"The company will continue to refine its food and beverage choices to meet changing consumer needs by reducing added sugars, saturated fat and sodium levels in its product portfolio," Pepsi said in a statement.

Ok..

+ First approach was to introduce "longer throat" - filled with more water (less artificial sweetener aspartame)
+ Second approach was to stop "longer throat" and revert with same price, note with more (less artificial sweetener aspartame)
+ Third approach is to reduce artificial sweetener aspartame completely.Just bottle carbon and water for consumers.

Instead of admitting that the import cost and current market environment is hitting them badly and dont want to increase prices.

Useless business strategy...nonsense approaches

Like cutting down sugar content by 6.3% abi.

That's like from 89.7% to 83.4%.

Still on the high side.

I doubt if it's gonna affect the North if sugar content is being cut down, cos something not (very) sugary/sweet doesn't sell in the North.

So they should also pay us some compensation for all the sugar they have made us consume . Well before other nairaland member come here and start asking for billions, my own is just 100,000,000 naira chikena

Nice one. Who are the people that belong to the kitchen, sitting room and other rooms. ??

Hope they cut the price while cutting the sugar
Some people are buying because of the sugar, if they want a sugarless drink... They will buy table water

Are they sure it's because of the health reasons? Abi because Sugar has skyrocketed in the market?
Because even bread now is no longer as sweet as before. Abeg make them tell us another story.
