NEW YORK (AP) — An environmental group said Wednesday that the caramel coloring used in Pepsi still contains a worrisome level of a carcinogen, even after the drink maker said it would change its formula.
In March, PepsiCo Inc. and Coca-Cola Co. both said they would adjust their formulas nationally after California passed a law mandating drinks containing a certain level of carcinogens come with a cancer warning label. The changes were made for drinks sold in California when the law passed.
The chemical is 4-methylimidazole, or 4-Mel, which can form during the cooking process and, as a result, may be found in trace amounts in many foods.
Watchdog group The Center for Environmental Health found via testing that while Coke products no longer test positive for the chemical, Pepsi products sold outside of California still do.

IT IS TIME TO STOP "BIG COLA" From destroying the world
Oh the humanity.....
Gimme a double bacon burger, large fries, and jumbo Pepsi please!
Until then ... butter, eggs, peanut butter, red meat, mustard and relish, potato chips and a TON of et cetera's.
Looks like I'll have to stop cooking with Coke and Pepsi . . .
Trying hard to remember the last time that I did . . .
Group Says Pelosi Still Contains Carcinogen
Ha! When I glanced at the title I thought it read “...Pelosi still contains carcinogen”. Wow!
You read my mind! Lol!
I think Pepsi tastes like a weak Rum and Coke
Crap now your telling me I should sell my Pepsi and Coke stock. They one paying me a good dividend since I can’t get any interest on my CD’s.
I’m not so worried about the carcinogens as the baby fetus stem cells in the flavoring. The sight of the stuff makes me nauseous.
Coke is also one of my portfolio assets. At least, I don’t have any homo-supporting stock like General Mills or Gap.
You know what? If you zoom in close enough, even tap water probably contains carcinogens of some composition, if taken in humongous , over the top amounts. I knew of a mentally ill man who died from swigging so much water repeatedly, than his salt reserves were diluted. All the staff were shocked, but that is not normal intake. We needn’t be ‘afraid’ of an ocassional soda pop. Eat, drink, be merry in moderation.
But BIG COLA companies are Obama supporters
wouldn’t that be a pisser if Obama banned carbonation
“Group Says Pelosi Still Contains Carcinogen”
Of course, I think that would have made for a more interesting article.
I am trying to be sort of sarcastic here
Obama and his libtard followers go insane about carbon dioxide from any industry they don’t like, but let Coke and Pepsi actually ADD IT TO THEIR PRODUCT!!!
I guess they like BIG COLA’s donations too much
Tobacco companies used to be HUGE Republican donors. If they were huge democrap donors I bet we would hear about nothing but the healthful benefits of bathing your lungs in cleansing smoke.
