Diet Coke
Diet Coke was first produced by The Coca-Cola Company in 1982 which replaced Tab, the original diet cola produced by the company since the 1960s. Interestingly enough, Diet Coke doesn’t use a modified Coca-Cola recipe, but a completely different concoction (unlike Coca-Cola Zero).
Is Diet coke vegan?
Yes, Diet-Coke is a vegan-friendly drink as it does not contain any animal derivatives in its ingredients or manufacturing process.
Is caffeine-free Diet Coke vegan?
Yes, according to Coca-Cola all of their natural ingredients in caffeine-free Diet Coke are plant-based and the artificial components are vegan-friendly too. In fact, the only fizzy drinks that Coca-Cola produces that aren’t suitable for vegans are Lilt, Lilt Zero and Schweppes Indian Tonic Water.
