PepsiCo announces ambitious plan to reduce sugar level in most drinks by 2025

Soft drink giant PepsiCo said on Monday that two-thirds of its drinks will contain 100 calories or less from added sugar per 12 oz serving by 2025. The company added that it will put more effort to producing products with fewer or no calories.

PepsiCo’s CEO Indra Nooyi said, “Technology breakthroughs right now are resulting in better-tasting colas almost as good as the full-sugar colas, but with lower calories. So we’re now faced with [an] interesting opportunity to step the consumer down to lower sweetness levels.
