Answer 1

Published versions say it contains Sugaror High_fructose_corn_syrup,Caramel_color,Caffeine,Phosphoric_acid,Coca,Kola_nutextract, Lime_(fruit) extract, Vanillaand Glycerin. Alleged syrup recipes vary greatly. The basic "cola" taste from Coca-Cola and competing cola drinks comes mainly from Vanillaand Cinnamon; distinctive tastes among various brands are the result of trace flavorings such as Orange_(fruit),Lime_(fruit) and Lemonand spices such as Nutmeg.To this day, Coca-Cola uses a United States license to purify the coca leaf for medicinal use.

Because Cocaineis naturally present in coca leaves, today's Coca-Cola uses "spent," or treated, coca leaves, those that have been through a cocaine extraction process, to flavor the beverage. The coca leaves are imported from countries like Peru and Bolivia, and they are treated by chemical company Stepan_Company, which then sells the de-cocainized residue to Coca-Cola. Some contend that this process cannot extract all of the cocaineAlkaloidat a molecular level, and so the drink still contains trace amounts of the stimulant. The Coca-Cola_Companycurrently refuses to comment on the continued presence ofCocaleaf in Coca-Cola.

A court case in Antalya, Turkey mentioned Cochinealdye in Coca-Cola, but the company denies it currently uses the dye.
