Where in coca cola is there vegetable extracts?!


Question: it says on the bottle that there is veg extracts but i fail to see any in the ingredients!

ingredients: carbonated water, sugar, colour(caramel e150d), phosphoric acid, flavourings (including caffeine)

(i searched for questions similar to mine and found one! one of the answers says coca leaf and kola nut are veggies, but since when is a nut a veg and why aren't they in the ingredients?)

The flavorings are actually the veggies. They are there even in minute amounts. How do you think such things up? I love your questions!!!

It would be under the flavorings ingredient.
Flavorings could contain nearly anything.

Yes there is veg extract.

Maybe because there are only very tiny amounts of vegetable extracts. I don't think they have to list the all the ingredients if they are in really small amounts. Not too sure though! (maybe they are trying to make it seem healthier hehe)

They list as natural flavorings. They will be things like:

* 10.0 g food-grade gum arabic
* 3.50 ml orange oil
* 2.75 ml lime oil
* 1.25 ml cassia oil
* 1.00 ml lemon oil
* 1.00 ml nutmeg oil
* 0.25 ml coriander oil
* 0.25 ml neroli oil
* 0.25 ml lavender oil

These are from a recipe for a copycat soda called "open cola" and don't match exactly what's in coca cola, but it's pretty similar stuff. At least in the 80s Pepsi used more lemon oil and less orange oil than coke and uses vanillin instead of vanilla.

Yes they do contain veg extracts.

Nooooooo.

No....... nonononono !!!

There's definitely NO vegetable extracts at ALL in..........oh....... wait a minute........they're actually in the ink on the bottle top.

Sorry,
