Coca-Cola Statement on the Food Safety of Beverage Ingredients

The negative claims about the company’s beverage ingredients broadcast on Mongol TV’s Orgil Tsag news program at 9 p.m. on October 28 are false. We confirm that no beverage produced in Mongolia, including Coca-Cola, contains the cochineal (E120) colorant mentioned in the report.

We take this opportunity to confirm that the raw materials used in our beverages fully comply with national and international food standards and are harmless to human health. For example, the caramel color (150d) used in the Coca-Cola produced in Mongolia is entirely safe for use in food and is widely used all over the world.

The Coca-Cola Company has served its consumers faithfully for 132 years and is an international company that sells more than 500 brands in over 200 countries. Around the world, 1.9 million servings of Coca-Cola beverages are enjoyed every day.

The Coca-Cola Company has been serving beverages to Mongolian consumers for 22 years. We remain faithful to our mission of producing high-quality beverages and water that meet food safety requirements.
