Is Coca -Cola still using "the real thing"?!

Question:

Is Coca -Cola still using "the real thing"?

I found this interesting article about a claim that Coca-Cola is still using the coca leave as an ingredient - for flavoring purposes (of course), There apperantly is a loop hole that allows countries to legally import coca leaves, Only one company in the US does so, this company is said to be a business partner of Coca-Cola.

It appears so. Coca-Cola imports decocainized coca leaves from Bolivia and Peru to make the concentrate and syrup for its flagship beverage. However, the formula is considered trade secret so there may not be any public discussion of the details by the company.
