Sujit Singh had a scary encounter with Coca Cola recently.
As he purchased ten bottles of soft drinks from a grocery
store in South Delhi, he was aghast to find a black bug-like
thing in a sealed bottle of Maaza (Batch No: 957CF, manufactured
02-05-2006 at 11:05 AM).
With the sealed bottle as incriminating evidence of Coca Cola's
lax quality control, Sujit Singh walked into the Consumer
VOICE office and handed over the Maaza bottle to us. "I
have been waiting for Coca Cola to get back to me on my complaint
for the last ten days and all they have done is give me excuses
like being stuck in traffic, for not coming."
It is not for the first time that news reports have come in
of contamination in soft drinks, the market share of which
has been captured by, and divided between, the two giants—Coca
Cola and Pepsi.

This bottle of Maaza in question was found to be bottled by
Moon Beverages Ltd, Sahibabad, which bottles Limca, Fanta
and Maaza for the North and West Delhi regions.
According to Rajesh Choudhary, Commercial Manager, Moon Beverages,
the bottlers dish out 10 lac cases (each case has 24 bottles)
of Maaza every year, on an average. Maaza was launched in
1976, and in 1993, it was acquired by Coca-Cola India. |
