Pepsi introduces prebiotic cola

PepsiCo announced it will launch a prebiotic cola under the Pepsi brand this fall, following its $1.95 billion acquisition of prebiotic soda maker Poppi. The new Pepsi Prebiotic Cola contains three grams of prebiotic fiber and five grams of cane sugar, aiming to attract health‑conscious consumers as traditional soda sales decline. The drink will be available online this fall and in stores next year, CNBC has reported. Meanwhile, Coca‑Cola recently introduced its own prebiotic soda, Simply Pop, as both companies tap into the growing functional beverage trend.
