Water in Coca-Cola in India pesticide free[table][tr][td]Posted | Comment | Recommend [/td] [td]E-mail | Save | Print | [/td] [/tr][/table]

NEW DELHI - The water used in Coca-Cola in India is free of pesticides, a noted New-Delhi-based research center said following long-standing allegations that Coca-Cola and Pepsi soft drinks were tainted.
The announcement, made late Monday by The Energy and Resources Institute, or TERI, and which follows anexamination of six of Coca-Cola Co.'s bottling plants, gave the water used a clean bill of health but said the soft drink giant needed to do more for waterconservation in areas where it operates.
"None of the pesticides as per the scope of work were found to be present in process water used forbeverage production by the plants," said the report. TERI is headed by Chief United Nations climate scientist Rajendra Pachauri, who shared lastyear's Nobel Peace Prize.
TERI said it was asked to carry out an independent evaluation of the plants by the Atlanta-based Coca-Cola and the University ofMichigan after a 2006 report by another Indian environmental group, the Center for Science and Environment, charged that Coca-Cola and Pepsi contain highlevels of pesticides.
The report led to several Indian states banning the drinks until India's high court overturned the orders.
In response to the TERI report, CSE said Coca-Cola could not be described as pesticide-free, because only the water had been tested andnot the rest of the ingredients.
"TERI has not tested the final product, which we drink," said the CSE statement. "The CSEstudy in 2003 and 2006 tested bottles of colas and found pesticides above safe limits in the drinks."
Although many food products in India contain pesticides, the CSE said it focused on Coca-Cola and PepsiCobecause they account for nearly 80 percent of India's $2 billion soft drink market.
The TERI report said their scientists had examined water intake, water used in the process and waterdischarge at the six plants -- four company-owned bottling operations and two franchise-owned factories.
Coca Cola India said commissioning the report was one of the many steps it was taking to improve itsproduct.
"The TERI report confirms that we meet Indian regulations and on an overall basis our own TCCC standards, which are often morestringent," a statement from the company said.
However, the report said Coca-Cola needs to do more to help improve local water supplies, particularly in areas suffering from chronicshortages. Local communities at some plant locations have protested over what they describe as unregulated water extraction by Coca-Cola.
Coca Cola said as a result of the report, it was strengthening its plant siting requirements and itsmonitoring capabilities for rainwater harvesting and wastewater treatment.
"We also are expanding our efforts to work with local communities to ensure sustainability of the localwater resources," the statement said.
