In this article
What are the ingredients in Coca-Cola Classic?
The only manufacturer page we could open was Coca-Cola Canada’s Coca-Cola Original page. It lists, in order:
- Carbonated water
- Sugar/glucose-fructose
- Caramel colour
- Phosphoric acid
- Natural flavour
- Caffeine
The page says only “natural flavour”, so we cannot tell you what is in it.
Is the U.S. recipe the same?
We could not open a U.S. Coca-Cola page, so we cannot confirm the U.S. list. Formulas can differ by country. Check the label on your own bottle or can.
How much caffeine is in cola?
The Canadian page states 48 mg per 500 mL bottle. USDA’s generic entry for regular cola (SR Legacy) lists 9 mg of caffeine per 100 g.
How many calories and sugar does cola have?
USDA’s regular cola entry lists, per 100 g, 42 kcal and 10.36 g carbohydrate, with no protein or fiber. This is a generic entry, not a specific brand.
Other colas can use other sweeteners or acids, so a store-brand cola will not match exactly.
