Swire Coca-Cola

Swire Coca-Cola is a Coca-Cola bottler, responsible for the production and distribution of Coca-Cola products in specific regions. The company is currently newsworthy due to two separate incidents in Hong Kong. First, Swire Coca-Cola was awarded a HK$31.9 million contract to supply Bonaqua water to Hong Kong government offices. This award is notable as it follows a HK$52.9 million bottled water procurement scandal from the previous year, though the article does not explicitly link Swire Coca-Cola to that prior scandal. Separately, a Hong Kong retiree admitted to spiking Coca-Cola Plus and 7-Up drinks (products bottled by Swire Coca-Cola) with urine in supermarkets over a year-long period as a form of protest against supermarket staff. While this incident involves Swire Coca-Cola products, the company is not implicated in the act itself, making the news relevant due to the potential public health and brand reputation implications.
