Why do Pepsi cans include ''not a significant source of vitamins' when there aren't vitamins in pepsi?!


Question: Does 'significant' not imply that there are some vitamins in pepsi?


Answers: Does 'significant' not imply that there are some vitamins in pepsi?

the FDA (food & drug administration) requires that the nutrient content of all foods and beverages be declared on the can. for smaller packages (soda cans, small jars, etc), it's allowable to use the "not a significant source..." wording in the interest of space.

the major nutrients (fat, carbs, sugars, sodium) must be shown in table format, but if the product contains 0 units (g, mg) of 7 or more nutrients, the abbreviated version is often used.

There is some kind of law that says food companies have to list certain contents of their products.
So if there aren't any they have to list it.

it's saying it's not good for u. but the people who make it are saying it in a way that u don't know it's bad for u so you'll still buy it. my friends mom works for pepsi

There are labeling laws that corporations, factories and the like have to follow.
