WASHINGTON: Federal health regulators have scolded coca-cola for placing inappropriate nutritional claims on its Diet Coke Plus soft drink.

The Food and Drug Administration issued a warning letter to the company, objecting to the product's labeling, which describes the drink as " Diet Coke with Vitamins and Minerals. "

Regulators said the beverage does not have enough nutrients to justify the use of the word " plus " in its name. According to the agency, foods labeled " plus " must have at least 10 percent more nutrients than comparable products. Additionally, the FDA said it is inappropriate to add extra nutrients to " snack foods such as carbonated beverages. "
