Does Coke or Pepsi contain extract from pork or something like that?

Question

I'm a muslim and I got an e-mail saying that coke and pepsi contains extract from pig intestines.... or something like that.

Not only is pork against my religion, the e-mail said that drinking 6 cans of coke will cause death... or near death. Pigs also eat dirt and dung, and other yucky things... So before i ever drink coke or pepsi again. Plz let me know if it does contains pork ot any part of a pig.

And plz make sure you have the right information. Cuz i dont want wrng answers!

Answer 1

No they don't use anything from a pig?!

That is miss lead information from when the Kosher coke was created. The reason this lie has been created because and I quote;'During Passover, Jews cannot consume "chametz," defined as five grains -wheat, oats, barley, rye and spelt - that have come in contact with moisture for more than 18 minutes. Many Jews observe an additional Passover prohibition that includes rice, lentils, beans - and corn.'

The orginal coke was created with pure sugar and many coke junkies go out searching for Kosher coke because it is made from pure sugar and it is essisential the old coke formula.

However Kosher coke is limited so be on the look out for it if your a Jew or a Coke junkie.
