Did Pepsi cola contain pepsin

Answer 1

*CORRECTION* PEPSI DOES CONTAIN PEPSIN SINCE PEPSI HAS TO CONTAIN A DIGESTIVE ENZYME WHICH IS PEPSIN WHICH DERIVES FROM PIGS.

No it does not. Pepsi is called "Pepsi" because it was created by a pharmacist that wanted to create a drink that was delicious and also helped with digestion-just like pepsin helps with digestion. Pepsi does not and has never containted pepsin.

Answer 2

Assalamu alaikum,

Issue: This issue of "pepsin" in Pepsi cola beverage drink was raised back in around 1988 time frame. A Pakistani urdu digest published this information.

Clarification: After initially throwing all Pepsi bottles/can in the house - I felt that it would be better to get a clear answer and hence I contacted Pepsi on behalf of the entire Muslim communities of south Florida. I promptly received an official reply back from Pepsi that this is incorrect info and that Pepsi does not contact any thing that is from animal or specifically from PIG sources.

Unfortunately I have moved many times and now do not have the official letter but I am sure if you are serious about this issue just contact Pepsi yourself and you will also get a similar letter.

- Hope this is clear.

- Wassalam

Hello,

Abdullah brother may be true, But it is not such a healthy drink so we can leave that if someone have doubts. read history below. Use health juices to refresh yourself.

"Brad's drink", created in the summer of 1893, was later renamed Pepsi Cola in 1898 after the pepsin and cola nuts used in the recipe. In 1898, Caleb Bradham wisely bought the trade name "Pep Cola" for $100 from a competitor from Newark, New Jersey that had gone broke. The new name was trademarked on June 16th, 1903. Bradham's neighbor, an artist designed the first Pepsi logo and ninety-seven shares of stock for Bradham's new company were issued.

Khurram Pepsi did contain pepsin, for reference see bellow. Does it have it now?1898 Caleb Bradham, a New Bern, North Carolina, pharmacist, renames "Brad's Drink," a carbonated soft drink he created to serve his drugstore's fountain customers. The new name, Pepsi-Cola, is derived from two of the principal ingredients, pepsin and kola nuts. It is first used on August 28.1902 Bradham applies to the U.S. Patent Office for a trademark for the Pepsi-Cola name.1903 In keeping with its origin as a pharmacist's concoction, Bradham's advertising praises his drink as "Exhilarating, invigorating, aids digestion."http://www.sirpepsi.com/pepsi11.htmhttp://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pepsihellothis is a very important question, especially in this time and existing of H1N1...but yes it contain pepsin-pepsine in greek means Pepsi, the name of this company- & this pepsine is the same of that of pig's intestine that it used for digesting protein...

Pepsi is the major company for soft drinks. other companies in contries of communism that don't import directly from Pepsi-like seria- write pepsine in the components, which is directly imported from America.
