Coca Cola on Sunday announced the launch of Coca Cola Zero, an innovative product that maintains the legendary Coca Cola flavour, but is a completely sugar free beverage, in Jordan.

Coca Cola Zero, the latest edition to the Coca Cola family, completes the Coca-Cola ‘trilogy’ of original Coca-Cola, an iconic brand loved by people across the globe and Coca-Cola light, with its unique, lighter taste that has a loyal customer base, skewed towards women. 

Announcing the launch at a press conference in Four Seasons Amman, on Sunday, Amer Ahmad, public affairs & communication manager in the Middle East said the launch of Coca-Cola Zero comes as a result of a sustained effort over several years, during which 'our team was able to formulate a recipe that retains the same taste of original Coca-Cola, but in a sugar free form.'

'This is the unique aspect of Coca-Cola Zero. Our studies and research have shown that there are so many people who crave the original Coca-Cola taste, but don't want the sugar. Zero is the answer to their wishes,” Ahmad noted.

“Coca-Cola Zero's fantastic flavour and likeness to Coca-Cola can be attributed to the many advancements made in only the last 10 years in food technology, including flavour enhancers and flavour delivery systems are now available,” he added.

The name Zero highlights that the new drink is completely sugar free. As a result, it also has very few calories – under 0.3 calories per 100 ml – so a 300 ml can has less than one calorie.

It has already been launched in the United States, Great Britain, Australia, Germany, Spain, Belgium, Turkey, KSA, Egypt, Qatar, UAE and the Kingdom of Bahrain, with great success, Ahmad said.-TradeArabia News Service
