It's about time. I've often wonder about how much caffeine really goes into a can of coke.
[FONT size=5]Coca-Cola to add caffeine content to nutrition labels[/FONT]
Coca-Cola has announced plans to begin disclosing caffeine content on their nutrition labels as part of an industry-wide initiative.
The Atlanta-based company says it will add caffeine content to its Coca-Cola Classic nutrition labels in May, with other products to follow. Some of the company's product labels, including Full Throttle and Enviga, already carry information on caffeine levels.
The rollout is currently limited to the U.S. Stephanie Baxter, a Coca-Cola Canada spokeswoman, says the company is reviewing the decision in the U.S. She notes that the company's energy drinks in Canada are already labelled with caffeine content information.
