Is Coca-Cola halal or haram?

بسم اللہ الرحمن الرحیم
الجواب بعون الملک الوھاب اللھم ھدایۃ الحق والصواب

If all of the ingredients present in Coca-Cola are halāl, then it is not harām, but it is halāl. However, should avoid such things as they are harmful to’s health.

According to my research, these are the ingredients found in Coca-Cola: carbonated water, sugar, colour (caramel E150d), phosphoric acid, natural flavourings including caffeine.

Also, the following statement can be found in the FAQs section of the Coca-Cola website:

“Coca-Cola is proud to be the world’s largest non-alcoholic drinks company. In the manufacture of Coca-Cola, alcohol is not added as an ingredient and no fermentation takes place.”
