Mumbai: The Central Food Laboratory, (CFL) Kolkata, has given clean chits to soft drink giants Pepsi and Coke, saying random samples tested by it did not contain pesticide residue above the prescribed limit.
The CFL, after testing 13 samples each of Pepsi and Coke taken from different bottling plants, said none of the samples exceeded the "pesticide residue limit" as prescribed by the National Experts Group.
The West Bengal government prepared the report as per the directive of the Calcutta High Court after testing 26 samples of different products of the two multi-national soft drink companies and served a copy to the petitioner's counsel Idris Ali.
