Sprite: Non alcoholic<\/p>\n
To respond to the concerns of Agus and the letter from MUI
\n(The Jakarta Post readers' column, Oct. 10, 1994) we would like
\nto explain the following points.<\/p>\n
Firstly, we wish to confirm that in the Indonesian manufacture
\nof Sprite, as well as Coca-Cola and other Company products,
\nalcohol is not added as an ingredient and no fermentation takes
\nplace.<\/p>\n
The ingredients and manufacturing process used in the
\nproduction of the Coca-Cola family of beverages products are
\nrigorously regulated by government and health authorities in
\nIndonesia and in the more than 195 countries which have
\nconsistently recognized the beverages of The Coca-Cola Company as
\nnon alcoholic products. This includes countries where Islam is
\nthe major religion, like Indonesia.<\/p>\n
Secondly, although the government of Indonesia makes \"halal
\ncertification\" optional, the Coca-Cola Company in Indonesia is
\nnow in the process of applying to the relevant authorities to
\nobtain halal certification for the Coca-Cola family of beverage
\nproducts sold in Indonesia.<\/p>\n
Thirdly, since last year, the Bottlers of Coca-Cola in
\nIndonesia have been conducting marketing activities called
\n\"Community-based marketing\" where one of its programs is offering
\nthe fun, the taste, the quality and enjoyment of the world's
\nbest-known soft-drinks to every consumer in Indonesia via product
\nsampling. The product sampling activities are conducted in public
\narea, schools and, on a request basis, we provide our Corporate
\nproducts free at mosques. Sampling activities are run on an
\noccasional basis and are intended to offer our consumers the
\ntaste, the quality and enjoyment of our products.<\/p>\n
