What Nutrients Diet Coke With Vitamins Lacking

Federal health regulators have scolded Coca-Cola for placing inappropriate nutritional claims on its Diet Coke Plus soft drink.

The Food and Drug Administration issued a warning letter to the company, objecting to the product's labeling, which describes the drink as "Diet Coke with Vitamins and Minerals."

Regulators said the drink does not have enough nutrients to justify the use of the word "plus." According to the agency, foods labeled "plus" must have at least 10 percent more nutrients than comparable products.

The FDA also said it is inappropriate to add extra nutrients to "snack foods."
