Their products vary from coffees, energy drinks, and juices and juice drinks to soft drinks, sport drinks, water, and teas.

The labels on the beverages provide the amount of energy, protein, carbohydrate, fat, total sugars, and sodium. The Coca-Cola Company provides nutrition information at a site called Nutrition Connection. It tells you the amount of energy which is the balance between calories in and calories expended. There's also information about bone and dental health, hydration, low calorie sweeteners and caffeine and also tips for including physical activity in your daily routine.
