Will allowing the addition of caffeine to any carbonated soft drink limit the availability of non-caffeinated soft drinks for consumers who must or wish to avoid caffeine?
Answer 7. Published studies show that in the United States marketplace, where caffeine has been allowed in non-cola soft drinks for many years, not all non-cola soft drinks are caffeinated. For example, all lemon-lime soft drinks and the majority of root beer and citrus-orange soft drink brands do not contain added caffeine. Similarly, it is anticipated that the distribution in Canada of caffeinated and non-caffeinated soft drinks will be somewhat similar to that of the U.S.
