Coca Cola gets FDA warning letter.

The FDA has criticized the Cola Cola Company's labeling and promotion

of Diet Coke Plus, which contains added magnesium, zinc, and

B-vitamins. [Wagner RF. Warning letter to Muhtar Kent, Dec 10, 2008]

http://www.casewatch.org/fdawarning/prod/2008/coke.shtml The agency's

warning letter states:

**To be labeled " plus, " foods must contain at least 10% more of the

relevant nutrients in an appropriate reference food.

**Diet Coke Plus's labeling does not identify any reference food.

**It is inappropriate to add extra nutrients to " snack foods such as

carbonated beverages. "

The product was launched in 2007 with an announcement that " In

addition to providing great, refreshing taste, Diet Coke Plus is a

good source of vitamins B3, B6, and B12, and the minerals zinc and

magnesium. "
