Pepsi changes recipe in classic cola beverage to cut sugar by more than a half

Pepsi have announced a massive change to their current recipe - with the classic Pepsi cola now set to contain 57% less sugar.

PepsiCo for the UK and Ireland said that the brand-new recipe will replace the existing one, and all bottled and canned Pepsi cola products across the UK and Ireland will be affected.

However, Diet Pepsi and Pepsi Max remain untouched, with the change only affecting full sugar Pepsi. Classic Pepsi sold in pubs and restaurants are also still using the old recipe at present - which contains 10.65g of sugar per 100ml.
