Hi folks,

I'm curious as to whether or not this Pepsi contains corn syrup. It is stocked at my local supermarket. I think this should show the ingredients:

Thanks,

Ingredients: water, suger, CO2, caramel food coloring, food acid(?) (E-338, lemon acid), caffeine, flavorings.
No corn syrup...

I just checked the hebrew wikipedia and there is a list of products that make use of corn syrup. Coca Cola is one of them.
Here there is a big list of items that use corn syrup. Pepsi is one of them. http://www.accidentalhedonist.com/in...ing_high_fruct

No corn syrup in diet pepsi.

I'm not surprised that Israeli Pepsi does not contain corn syrup. While Pepsi and Coke in the US generally do contain corn Syrup, they make sugar-based ones for some markets. I've been told that one of those markets is Jewish communities (since corn is a grain that isn't allowed during Passover and probably some other reasons I'm unaware of). This was news to me recently when a friend explained the local availability of "Passover Coke".

A couple days ago, while shopping at my local Target, I saw boxes of Pepsi cans with old-fashioned cursive lettering and the mention "Throwback" on the package. Apparently they are making a special series with sugar instead of high fructose corn syrup, presumably at a premium.

Yup you can get Mnt Dew Throwback also that uses Sugar inplace of HFCS

You're aware that Pepsi's got its "Throwback" lineup using real sugar for widespread distribution right now, yes?

I learned that the Coke in the glass bottles doesn't contain HFCS. Interesting.

Thanks for the translation!

Is this Pepsi kosher for passover?

 

[guyx1992]

yes. it says כשר לפסח at the bottom which means "kosher for passover".
If you have any other hebrew related question don't hesitate to ask.

I always preferred "soda" or "pop" from a glass bottle. But then I prefer beer from a can, hmm..

 

[HippieTom]

I dont think its from Israel. Its no milk and honey in it

This isn't always true. Both sugar and HFCS forms of Coke are distributed in glass bottles.

Thanks! I knew it tasted much better than standard HFCS Pepsi!
