Coca-Cola Zero Sugar (previously known as Coca-Cola Zero in the United States) is a zero-calorie Coca-Cola variant released in 2005 from The Coca-Cola Company. In 2017, It was reformulated, and then renamed it into Coca-Cola Zero Sugar as the new name of Coca-Cola Zero.
Sweeteners and Health Concerns
Sodium cyclamate, a relatively inexpensive artificial sweetener banned by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) since 1969 and once believed to be a carcinogen, has been used in the Coca-Cola Zero versions produced in Italy, Spain, Portugal, Venezuela, Chile, and some Central American countries. It was used for a time in Mexico before a consumer campaign led to its removal from the drink in 2008. In June 2009 Venezuela ordered Coca-Cola to withdraw its Coca-Cola Zero product, as it contained more than the legal levels of sodium cyclamate.

Backlash
