- According to the company, Coca-Cola products will be available at KFC US restaurants by spring 2027.
- PepsiCo said agreements with Taco Bell and KFC International were recently renewed; Taco Bell’s contract runs for 10 years.

- Klingbeil said action was needed to address the effects of high sugar consumption, adding that the coalition had decided on a sugar tax whose details were being prepared.
- Under the preliminary framework paper, beverages containing sugar and/or sweeteners, as well as related granules, would be covered, while 100-percent fruit juices and pure milk would be exempt.
- Revenue from soft drinks is estimated at around two billion euros a year, compared with 650 million euros earmarked for statutory health insurance stabilisation in 2027 and at least 450 million euros from 2028.
- The Agriculture Ministry lodged a formal reservation, while consumer protection groups supported including added sweeteners and called for the revenue to be used for nutrition prevention.

- The tax is reportedly intended to start on 1 January 2027, with 26 cents per litre for drinks containing five to eight grams of sugar per 100 millilitres and 32 cents above that level.
- If implemented, it would cover not only soft drinks but all sugar-sweetened beverages, including cocoa drinks, shandies, drinking yoghurt, spritzers and fruit juices.
- The tax would not be earmarked and could generate around €650 million in additional state revenue in its first year.
- At a parliamentary expert hearing in Berlin in early July, three independent experts found no robust study evidence that the tax would improve public health, while the Bundesvereinigung der Deutschen Ernährungsindustrie and Lebensmittelverband Deutschland also warned against a rapid introduction.
