85% of Nigerians dont usually read or check the ingredients or content of either foods or drinks as long as it taste good in mouth and consume by others without complains.......I fear for my people.

alright... but from the screenshot below... the ingredients in fanta are sodium benzoate and ascorbic acid which means it is unsafe to drink it since this two things are already present..
This is serious, nbc must be sued, they've been giving nigerians poison!

Chai the painful thing is when one is sick after getting drugs from the dispensary, he will buy fanta to take the drugs(most times Vitamin C) will be present.... Thinking he is taking drugs to get well not knowing he is causing a more terrible sickness gradually shocked shocked....

NAFDAC eee....

360frolic:
1. Benzoic acid was first obtained from the resin of trees belonging to the Styrax genus. The fragrant resin smells like vanilla and is sometimes known as gum benzoin. In the present day, benzoic acid is produced in the lab from other chemicals instead of being extracted from gum benzoin.


2. Benzoic acid is a white, crystalline powder with a faint, non-offensive odour.




3. Benzoic acid is used to manufacture a wide variety of products such as perfumes, dyes, topical medications and insect repellents.



4. Benzoic acids are common additives to food, drinks and other products. They are useful chemicals in manufactured products because they kill or inhibit both bacteria and fungi and can act as preservatives.


5. Benzoates are derived from benzoic acid and are more commonly used as food preservatives than the acid. When the chemical reacts with vitamin C (ascorbic acid) in drinks under certain conditions, benzene may be produced. Benzene is a carcinogen. A carcinogen is a substance that is capable of causing cancer.



6. Most people don't need to worry about benzoic acid and benzoates in food, drinks and other sources, since the chemicals are usually present in small amounts. However, for safety sake, you should try as much as possible to reduce your exposure to benzoic acid and benzoates since high levels are potentially dangerous





http://www.newshelm.com/2017/03/benzoic-acid-important-information.html

Your No 6 Which is the most important point in your write up is vague. What are the contra indications? Please break it down. What is is high level? Are levels the same for everybody? For instance do pregnant women, infants and breast feeding mothers have t same tolerance as a healthy adult? Are there illnesses or personal under treatment that have higher levels of risk? Until these questions are fully addressed the fears of consumers will not be allayed. At least not former and heavy abusers of coke like myself. So thanks, but more detail please; and if you don't have it, put out a big disclaimer. The sky is cloudy. Carry an umbrella.
