PepsiCo

PepsiCo, a multinational food and beverage corporation, is in the news due to recent developments in the competitive beverage market. Coca-Cola is suing Vue cinema chain after Vue switched to PepsiCo as its soft drink supplier in Europe, highlighting the ongoing rivalry between the two companies. This switch indicates PepsiCo's success in securing a major contract. Separately, the broader food industry is seeing changes in labeling regulations, with the FDA relaxing rules on 'no artificial colors' claims when plant-based colors are used. This indirectly affects PepsiCo and its product labeling strategies. Other articles discuss Unilever's potential merger of its food business with McCormick and concerns about the FDA's safety checks on food ingredients, but these do not directly involve PepsiCo.
