History[edit | edit source]

Coca-Cola Zero was first launched in 2005, targeting young adults and those who wanted a no-calorie beverage that tasted more like the original Coca-Cola. In 2017, the product was reformulated and rebranded as Coca-Cola Zero Sugar to emphasize its sugar-free nature and to improve its taste profile.

Ingredients[edit | edit source]

Coca-Cola Zero Sugar contains carbonated water, caramel color, phosphoric acid, aspartame, potassium benzoate, natural flavors, potassium citrate, acesulfame potassium, and caffeine. The sweeteners used, aspartame and acesulfame potassium, are artificial and provide the sweetness without the calories.

Marketing and Branding[edit | edit source]

Coca-Cola Zero Sugar has been marketed with a focus on its taste, which is claimed to be closer to the original Coca-Cola than Diet Coke. The branding often emphasizes the "zero sugar" aspect to appeal to health-conscious consumers. The packaging typically features a black label with the iconic Coca-Cola logo in red.

Variants[edit | edit source]

Coca-Cola Zero Sugar has been released in various flavors, including:

  • Coca-Cola Cherry Zero Sugar
  • Coca-Cola Vanilla Zero Sugar
  • Coca-Cola Orange Vanilla Zero Sugar

These variants offer consumers a range of flavors while maintaining the zero-calorie and zero-sugar profile.

Global Availability[edit | edit source]

Coca-Cola Zero Sugar is available in many countries worldwide. The formulation may vary slightly depending on regional taste preferences and regulatory requirements.

Health Considerations[edit | edit source]

The U.S. Food and Drug Administration and other health authorities have deemed these sweeteners safe for consumption.
