FDA: Benzene Levels in Soft Drinks 'Do Not Pose a Safety Concern'

Following reports from an FDA food contaminant surveillance program that

benzene, a cancer-causing chemical, had been detected at low levels in some

soft drinks, FDA surveyed a variety of the beverages using a different

testing method. The findings showed that most beverages sampled had either

no detectable benzene levels or were well below the U.S. safety threshold

for benzene in drinking water. As a result, FDA says benzene levels in soft

drinks " do not pose a safety concern. "
