Pepsi bids to assess report on pesticide claims
Drinks giant PepsiCo has filed a petition with the Delhi High Court requesting an independent evaluation of a report which accuses Pepsi and Coca-Cola of selling drinks in India containing dangerous levels of pesticide residue, it said today.
PepsiCo Holdings India also urged the court to restrain the government from acting on the report by the Centre for Science and Environment until an independent analysis was complete, a company official said.
