In February 2003 a parliamentary probe found soft drinks sold in India by the United States beverage giants contained pesticide residues and urged tougher national health standards.

The inquiry was ordered after the Centre for Science and Environment, alleged 12 of the companies' soft drinks had such high pesticide levels they could lead to cancer.
Their [Cocal Cola & Pepsi] lawyer, Harish Salve, said during court proceedings that extensive use of pesticides in agriculture had resulted in a high degree of their presence in sugar. He said no pesticide was added to the drinks in the manufacturing process
