Less Sugar, More Choices in Great Britain
At Coca‑Cola Great Britain, we are on a mission to craft drinks that people love while ensuring choice.
Our sugar reduction journey began 40 years ago with Diet Coke’s introduction to the UK market. Since then, we have continued to grow our low and no-sugar range through the introduction of additional brands like Coke Zero and Fanta Zero. In recent years we have accelerated our reformulation efforts, reflecting both consumer demand and our commitment to our low and no-sugar ranges, as well as offering drinks which provide more nutritional value, and added benefits like hydration.
We are continuing to expand our options for consumers and reformulate our drinks in response to changing tastes. Our aim is to help people reduce the sugar they consume while continuing to offer a choice of great tasting drinks for every occasion.
These efforts reflect our ongoing commitment to responsible growth and maintaining trust with consumers and regulators.
