French magazine 60 Million Consumers published results of tests on 19 kinds of colas.
The results suggest that the alcohol levels are as low as 10mg in every litre, or around 0.001 per cent alcohol.
Only nine that did not contain alcohol were made by brands including
Auchan, Cora, Casino, Leader Price and Man U-Cola. The ten which had
traces of alcohol included Coca-Cola, Pepsi Cola, Coca-Cola Classic
Light and Coke Zero.
Coca-Cola Franch acknowledged that "it is possible that traces of
alcohol come from the process" of making Coca Cola according to its
secret recipe.
Pepsi, meanwhile, said "some soft drinks can contain minute traces of
alcohol because of the ingredients used", but denied that its recipe
contains alcohol.
Both companies suggested that natural fruit can ferment and produce minute traces of alcohol.
