Coca-Cola Nigeria Limited has responded to a warning from the Federal Competition and Consumer Protection Commission (FCCPC) regarding allegedly misleading packaging. The company maintains that its packaging complies with national regulations and provides clear information to consumers.
The FCCPC had accused Coca-Cola and the Nigerian Bottling Company of unfair marketing practices, claiming they deceived consumers by suggesting that the “Original Taste, Less Sugar” variant was identical to the “Original Taste” variant.
Coca-Cola reaffirmed its commitment to consumer interests and transparency, stating that it prioritizes safeguarding consumer interests. The company expressed willingness to work with the government to resolve the matter and noted that it has complied with all regulations.
Coca-Cola looks forward to resolving the issue and is committed to maintaining clear and accessible nutrition information on its packaging.”
