The Coca-Cola Comapny
Diet Coke
TNH Verdict
3/6
CRITERIA MET
Diet Coke meets some health-related criteria such as no added sugar and no trans fat. However, it does not fully qualify as a clean-label product because it contains artificial sweeteners, flavouring agents, and additives/preservatives. While it may be considered a low-calorie alternative to regular soft drinks, it does not align with products that focus on natural ingredients and minimal processing.
