Coca-Cola Zero
Brand: Coca-Cola. Consider organic alternatives in beverages category
Coca-Cola Zero is currently classified as elevated concern in the NonToxic.com database, with a 55/100 comparative safety score. DEHP-equivalents measured at 38480 ng/serving. Compared only with verified Beverages records using the same analyte, unit, and laboratory method. This comparative score is not a clinical safety threshold. Panel of 18 plasticizers and bisphenols across 3 lab samples; 4 detected. DEHP-equivalents 1.1% of the source-published EFSA adult tolerable daily intake. This is a shopping comparison aid, not a medical or regulatory determination.

How to interpret this product record.
Use this record with its source, test date, measured substances and packaging context. A comparative score summarizes the available measurements within comparable records; it does not certify safety or predict an individual's health risk.
Compare results only when their units, methods and product uses are compatible. Missing testing stays unrated, and a current catalog check does not update an older laboratory result. Subscribe or request a retest when you need more recent evidence about Coca-Cola Zero.
Product FAQ
Common questions about Coca-Cola Zero.
Is Coca-Cola Zero a lower-concern product?
NonToxic.com currently classifies Coca-Cola Zero as elevated concern with a 55/100 score. DEHP-equivalents measured at 38480 ng/serving. Compared only with verified Beverages records using the same analyte, unit, and laboratory method. This comparative score is not a clinical safety threshold. Panel of 18 plasticizers and bisphenols across 3 lab samples; 4 detected. DEHP-equivalents 1.1% of the source-published EFSA adult tolerable daily intake.
What evidence is available for Coca-Cola Zero?
Coca-Cola Zero currently lists PlasticList (plasticlist.org) as the study source, 2024 as the test year, 38480 as the DEHP-equivalents (ng/serving), and Not tested (dataset covers plasticizers and bisphenols) as the microplastics signal. The evidence label is medium confidence.
What should I compare Coca-Cola Zero against?
Start with products serving the same use as Coca-Cola Zero. Check the exact variant, sample date, source and packaging. Compare numerical results only when the measured substance, units and laboratory methods agree; missing testing remains unrated.
