United States: PepsiCo to Reformulate Its Beverages to Have Fewer Calories by 2030

PepsiCo and its bottler in Mexico have set a goal that by 2030, 90% of its beverage portfolio will contain fewer than 20 calories per 100 milliliters.

To achieve this goal, both companies will further expand their portfolio of low- and no-calorie beverage brands, aiming to encourage consumption through strengthened responsible communication, the company stated in a press release.

According to the company, the beverage portfolio has already seen a reduction of more than 50 % in calorie content, just weeks before the more than 80 % increase in the Special Tax on Production and Services (IEPS) applied to sugary drinks takes effect.

This approach has resulted in a sustained agenda of reformulation, technological development, and stricter internal standards, without sacrificing the taste consumers expect.
