On its official site on Twitter, the company Coca-Cola denies rumours that the famous drink contains alcohol.

‘The ingredients and manufacturing process used in the production of Coca-Cola are rigorously regulated by government and health authorities in over 200 countries that recognised the Coca-Cola drink as a non-alcoholic product’, the company’s message on Twitter’s official site says.

Coca-Cola's response comes after the website of the U.S. national radio station was a reference to an article an article which claims that Coca-Cola recipe was discovered and that, among the ingredients, examples have included alcohol as well.

U.S. national radio station claims that the ‘The American Life’ media partners were able to discover the secret recipe of the famous drinks in an article published in 1979, in the Atlanta Journal-Constitution, a recipe that has been well hidden since 1886.

The only official copy of the Coca-Cola’s recipe is supposed to be hidden in a bank’s safe in the U.S.

Mark Pendergrast, author of For God, country, and Coca-Cola said that this recipe seems to be true.

Although Coca-Cola has denied rumours that the drink contains alcohol, ‘The American Life’ published this recipe as the drink's secret recipe and among the ingredients examples have included alcohol as well:

Fluid extract of coca
Citric Acid
Caffeine
Sugar
Water
Lemon juice
Vanilla
Caramel
Alcohol
Orange oil
Lemon oil
Nutmeg oil
Coriander oil
Neroli oil
Cinnamon oil
