Coca-Cola's prebiotic drink, Simply Pop, has no added sugar

With people becoming more health conscious, the prebiotic soda category is booming and now Coca-Cola is all set to compete with other popular names like Poppis and Olipops in this sector. While discussing this new range, the CEO of nutrition at TCCC, Becca Kerr, said:

"We found that consumers, especially the wellness-focused Gen Z-ers and Millennials, were really interested in juice and prebiotic sodas. Since many brands in this category are new, they were looking to align with names they know and trust for both quality and taste."

Kerr further added,

"This was particularly true for those curious about prebiotic sodas but who hadn't yet taken the leap. We knew that in order to bring new drinkers into the category, we had to strike that perfect balance of innovation and trust."

Coca-Cola chose its subsidiary company Simply for the prebiotic drinks debut because Simply is known for its "no-preservative or artificial flavors" and "never from concentrate" fruit juices and positions itself as a 'clean brand.' On the official website, the brand has also stated the reason in the following words:

"Over more than two decades, Simply has established itself as a leader in juice and consumers have an affinity for the high quality and characteristics of Simply products, making it the ideal brand to lead our exploration and development of the juicy new prebiotic soda."
