The drinks rivals PepsiCo and Coca-Cola are working on a scientific
method of testing pesticide residues in beverages and other products in
India. A recent report has said both companies’ drinks have high
chemical levels.
Indra K. Nooyi, PepsiCo’s president and chief executive, said the two
companies were seeking ‘a breakthrough science-based method to reliably
and consistently measure the levels in finished products.’ She said
PepsiCo was also trying to reduce fats and sugars in its products.
