Did you know that sweeteners are used in more than 6,000 different food products worldwide?

A sweetener is a food ingredient created to give food a pleasant taste while containing no calories. Among these, our products make wide use of ingredients derived from natural sources such as stevia and erythritol. They retain the taste of sugar but contain no calories and do not affect blood sugar levels.

Ingredients:

Calorie information:

For example, the erythritol in OOHA products contains 0.2 kcal per gram — 20 times less than the 4 kcal in ordinary sugar. Most erythritol is absorbed in the small intestine, yet it plays no part in the body’s energy-producing chain. In other words, it is absorbed through the digestive tract and passes out in the urine intact, without being broken down, so it does not affect blood sugar levels.

On the basis of these properties, every product in the OOHA range is labeled calorie-free, or “0 calories.” Label claims are reviewed and verified in line with Mongolia’s labeling standard, which draws on the standards of the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA), the European Union and CODEX. Every OOHA flavor and format therefore offers consumers a calorie-free, healthier choice.

The labels on the products we use every day carry a great deal of information, yet most people never notice it. So we have prepared a guide on how to read label information correctly, using the redesigned Sprite label as an example.

Calorie information:

The front of the label shows the calorie content per 100 ml. Every 100 ml of Sprite contains 20 kcal — just 1% of the daily calorie requirement for a person in Mongolia. In other words, a 500 ml pack gives you 100 kcal, or 4% of your daily calorie requirement.

The reference average daily calorie requirement for a person in Mongolia is 2,400 kcal. (Legal Information Unified System)

On the back of the label, (MSN 0687-3-2015) indicates that the drink was produced in accordance with Mongolia’s national standard for carbonated beverages. To read that standard in full, click here.

Ingredients:

Ingredients are listed in descending order by weight, from the largest to the smallest. Looking at the ingredients section on the back of the Sprite label, they appear in this order: water, sugar, carbonating agent, acidity regulator, preservative, sweetener, and flavorings.

From this we can see that 95% of a 500 ml Sprite — 475 ml — is water, and 25 ml is carbohydrate. Breaking down the remaining 5%: 100 kcal, 24.5 ml of carbohydrate, 24.5 g of sugar, 0 g of protein, 0 g of fat and 85 mg of sodium.

So when you drink Sprite you can quench your thirst enjoyably and top up your fluid intake at the same time.

Packaging:

MCS Coca-Cola offers a wide range of pack sizes, so you can choose the one that suits your own calorie needs.

Alongside regular Sprite we also produce a zero-calorie version. For balanced consumption, keep track of the calorie content of whichever product you choose.

Environment:

It is also worth noting that by changing its packaging from green to clear, Sprite has made a valuable contribution to the plastic recycling process. Its appearance may have changed, but the taste of the Sprite we love has not — it still delivers that same original burst of lemon-lime.

As the pace of life changes, we all need to keep better track of the sugar and calories we take in through our food and to manage our consumption more intelligently.

That makes it important to get information from reliable sources and to calculate your own intake. We have therefore put together guidance on how to work out a sensible level of sugar consumption and where to find the information.

The first place to look is the guidance of the World Health Organization (WHO). The WHO recommends that both children and adults take no more than ten percent of their daily calorie requirement from sugar.

Next, let us consider how to calculate the daily calorie requirement for a person in Mongolia. Annex 4 to Order A/74 of 2017 of the Minister of Health sets reference food quantities that meet the recommended daily calorie and nutrient intake for an average person.

Following that guidance — taking up to 10% of the reference daily calorie intake from sugar, as the WHO recommends — you may take in 240 kcal a day from sugar.

One level teaspoon of the sugar we use every day is 4 grams, or 16 kcal.

Within this guidance, it is important to calculate correctly the daily calories and sugar in the food you consume.

When choosing MCS Coca-Cola products, check the information on the label and select the one whose calorie content suits you.

People consume caffeine every day through a wide variety of products. And of course, caffeine is one of the ingredients that gives Coca-Cola its unique, remarkable taste.
Now let us look at sensible caffeine consumption. Guidance from the U.S. food authorities sets a reasonable daily intake of caffeine at 400 mg.

As noted above, people take in caffeine from many products, including coffee, green tea and chocolate. To put the 400 mg guideline in everyday terms, it is the equivalent of drinking 4–5 cups of coffee or eating 20 squares of dark chocolate a day.

By comparison, 200 ml of Coca-Cola contains 19.2 mg of caffeine — fully 20 times less than that guideline. So do keep track of how much caffeine you are getting from the foods and drinks you consume. We encourage you to read the label on our products for full details of their ingredients.

To make it easier for you to keep track of the calories you take from our products, we have brought many of them to market in smaller packs. And we are confident that we are making products that meet your needs.

Smaller packs are light to carry and make it easy to keep count of your calories.

Did you know that sugar substitutes are used in more than 6,000 different food products worldwide?

A sugar substitute is a food ingredient created to give food a pleasant taste; it is sweeter than ordinary sugar yet contains no calories.

Now let us look at aspartame, one of the most widely used sugar substitutes. In composition, aspartame consists of two amino acids: aspartic acid and phenylalanine.

For more than 30 years aspartame has been used worldwide in over 6,000 kinds of food and drink — desserts, sparkling beverages, yogurt, chewing gum, confectionery and even sugar-free cold remedies. That is precisely why it has been studied so extensively. Many years of research have consistently confirmed that aspartame has no adverse effect on the human body.

A sensible intake of aspartame:
The acceptable daily intake of aspartame is calculated from a person’s body weight: 50 mg of aspartame per kilogram of body weight. Let us work through a small example.

For a person weighing 70 kg, the amount of aspartame they may consume in a day is calculated as follows.

(​Body weight in kg) X (50 mg) = acceptable intake 70 × 50 = 3,500 mg, or 3.5 g

As this calculation shows, 3.5 g of aspartame is a normal amount for a person weighing 70 kg.

Where aspartame is widely used:
Aspartame is widely used by people who manage the sugar in their diet. For them we produce a range of products including Coca-Cola Zero, Coca-Cola Plus, Sprite Zero and Sprite Plus.

It has been 130 years since Coca-Cola first reached consumers — a brand that, since 1886, has been there with its remarkable taste for every happy moment we share. In 1886 Coca-Cola sold nine servings a day at a single outlet; today it sells 1.9 billion servings a day across 27 million outlets.

Around the world:

offering consumers more than 3,600 products across 500 brands in over 200 countries,
— leading the world in sparkling beverages, juice and packaged coffee, while 19 of The Coca-Cola Company’s top 20 products are low- or no-calorie.

These products help us monitor and manage our weight.

The polar bear first appeared as the central character in the television commercial “Northern Lights,” made as part of The Coca-Cola Company’s global “Always Coca-Cola” campaign of 1993.

Commissioned by The Coca-Cola Company, the artist Haddon Sundblom painted Santa Claus for the company’s Christmas advertising as a rotund old man in a red suit with a full white beard — the image that became the modern depiction of Santa Claus.

In 1982 The Coca-Cola Company launched its first calorie-free, sweetener-based drink; Coca-Cola Zero, introduced in 2005, joined the ranks of billion-dollar brands within two years, by 2007.

Coca-Cola Zero gives you the wonderful lift of genuine Coca-Cola taste, with the added distinction of containing no sugar.

In 2008 The Coca-Cola Company won the first-ever Grand Prix in the Design category at the Cannes Lions festival, for its redesigned aluminum can and its distinctive design solution.

In 2004 MCS Coca-Cola LLC commissioned its PET bottling line, putting the 500 ml, 1.25 L and 2 L bottles into consumers’ hands.

From 1969 The Coca-Cola Company placed its logo — Coca-Cola in white on a red background — across all of its distribution channels, making the brand known to ever more people.

In 1899 two young entrepreneurs, Benjamin F. Thomas and Joseph B. Whitehead, bought the rights to bottle and sell the drink in glass from Asa Candler for just one U.S. dollar. It was the deal of the century.

Carbon dioxide is produced by the body’s metabolism, and green plants absorb it during photosynthesis, releasing oxygen in its place.

More than 700,000 people work for The Coca-Cola Company in over 200 countries worldwide. It also helps create 7 million jobs indirectly, making it one of the world’s ten largest employers.

To set Coca-Cola apart from everything else, the company’s owner Asa Candler distributed it in red barrels — a wholly new marketing idea at the time.

In 1923, at a time when households were getting their first refrigerators, The Coca-Cola Company introduced a six-pack that could be carried home in one go — making it possible for consumers to enjoy a cold drink at home.

About 90% of a sparkling drink is purified water, so it can be one of the choices that fully meet your body’s fluid needs.

In 1960 the Coca-Cola we love to drink was packaged in a can for the first time. For the company it was the first change to its packaging since the glass bottle we know today was designed 45 years earlier.

In its first year on sale, Coca-Cola sold an average of just nine servings a day.

In 1886 Dr. John Pemberton created the Coca-Cola formula and began selling it through soda fountains. At the time Coca-Cola was a thick syrup, diluted with carbonated water, and everyone who tasted this sparkling drink — “delicious and refreshing” — is said to have rated it highly.

In 1993 the 500 ml plastic bottle in the shape we know today went on sale. By taking the same form as the glass bottle introduced in 1915, it helped set Coca-Cola apart from other similar products.

The Coca-Cola Company’s remarkable growth and its lead over competitors are inseparable from that perfectly shaped glass bottle with the name embossed on it. The distinctive bottle was granted intellectual property protection in the United States in 1915, and it has kept its essential form for 100 years.

After “OK” — the word understood in every language on earth — Coca-Cola is the second most widely recognized mark in the world.

In 1887 Dr. John Pemberton, the creator of Coca-Cola, was the first to hand out coupons for a FREE TASTE of the drink in order to sell it — the company’s first marketing program for “introducing a new product to the market.” As a result, by 1900 around 10% of the U.S. population — 7.6 million people — had tasted at least one glass of Coca-Cola, and 8,500,000 free samples had been served in total.

The partnership between the International Olympic Committee and The Coca-Cola Company began in 1928.

Coca-Cola went on sale at numerous small outlets around Amsterdam during that year’s Summer Olympic Games, and in the 87 years since it has been an uninterrupted official partner of 19 Summer Olympic Games.

In 1886 Frank Robinson, bookkeeper to Coca-Cola’s creator John Pemberton, not only came up with the name Coca-Cola but also created its remarkable script by hand.

He believed that emphasizing the two Cs in the Coca-Cola logo would help the product succeed in the market — and he was right: 129 years on, it is still recognized in exactly that original script.
