Coca-Cola North America revealed Coca-Cola Zero Sugar, Sprite Zero Sugar and Fresca with prebiotic fiber, each containing six grams of prebiotic fiber. The fiber-infused sodas are part of a limited-time regional test in New York, Pennsylvania and New Jersey.
Why it matters
The test lets the company see how consumers respond to fiber-enhanced sodas before any broader rollout. It also reflects Coca-Cola's broader push into functional beverages across its portfolio.
The company is testing three sodas each containing six grams of prebiotic fiber across three states to gauge consumer response. Whether the test will expand nationally has not been announced.
The players
Coca-Cola North America
The North American division of The Coca-Cola Company, the beverage giant behind Coca-Cola Zero Sugar, Sprite Zero Sugar, Fresca and the Core Power protein line.
The details
Coca-Cola Zero Sugar, Sprite Zero Sugar and Fresca are the three varieties being tested with prebiotic fiber. The company is also leaning heavily into protein, with its Core Power lineup and a new Banana flavor arriving in January.
Timeline
November 4, 2026: Coca-Cola reveals the prebiotic fiber soda lineup.
January 2027: Core Power Banana protein release in 26-gram and 42-gram options.
March 2027: Vitamin Water Zero Sugar launches.
2027: Powerade debuts watermelon and lemon-lime zero-sugar flavors.
Health Landscape
The launch builds on the U.S. shift toward zero-sugar sodas, extending that formulation trend by adding prebiotic fiber as a functional claim. It marks a move by major beverage makers to position everyday drinks as contributors to gut health rather than purely as indulgences.
Shoppers in New York, Pennsylvania and New Jersey may be able to find the fiber-infused Zero Sugar, Sprite Zero Sugar and Fresca during the limited test. Those elsewhere should expect these products to appear only if the test expands, and Core Power Banana's 26-gram and 42-gram protein options arrive in January.
The takeaway
Adding fiber to a soda is a test of whether everyday drinks can be marketed for gut health, so readers checking labels should compare grams of fiber against the sugar content before assuming a health benefit. The regional test results will show whether consumers want that tradeoff.
What happens next
Powerade's watermelon and lemon-lime zero-sugar debut and Vitamin Water Zero Sugar's March 2027 launch are scheduled, while the fiber soda test's outcome and any national expansion have no announced date.
