SodaStream, la célèbre multinationale israélienne spécialisée dans la fabrication d’appareils de gazéification de boissons va ouvrir une usine à Gaza, a déclaré le directeur-général de l’entreprise lors d’une conférence en Israël.

SodaStream a été racheté par le géant américain PepsiCo Inc. le 19 août dernier pour 2.7 milliards d’euros.

L’entreprise SodaStream qui prône déjà la coexistence Juifs-Arabes, souhaite élargir ce projet en installant une usine dans la bande de Gaza, selon Reuters.

« Nous voulons que les habitants de Gaza aient un vrai emploi, parce que là où règne la pauvreté, la paix est impossible », a déclaré le directeur de SodaStream, Daniel Birnbaum.

A potent blend of pride, economic nationalism and mounting concern over water security have the world’s two biggest cola brands in a bind in southern India.

Shopkeepers in drought-hit Kerala state decided Wednesday to promote local brands over Coca-Cola Co. and PepsiCo Inc. beverages after counterparts in neighboring Tamil Nadu boycotted the multinational drinks. While retail groups claim the companies are siphoning off groundwater and selling products tainted with pesticides, academics and analysts say the soda giants have become scapegoats for a water crisis that’s become mired in politics and patriotism.

Group finds carcinogen in Pepsi outside Calif
▻http://bigstory.ap.org/article/group-finds-carcinogen-pepsi-products-0

NEW YORK (AP) — An environmental group said Wednesday that the caramel coloring used in Pepsi still contains a worrisome level of a carcinogen, even after the drink maker said it would change its formula.

In March, PepsiCo Inc. and Coca-Cola Co. both said they would adjust their formulas nationally after California passed a law mandating drinks containing a certain level of carcinogens come with a cancer warning label. The changes were made for drinks sold in California when the law passed.

The chemical is 4-methylimidazole, or 4-Mel, which can form during the cooking process and, as a result, may be found in trace amounts in many foods.

Watchdog group The Center for Environmental Health found via testing that while Coke products no longer test positive for the chemical, Pepsi products sold outside of California still do.

Pepsi said its caramel coloring suppliers are changing their manufacturing process to cut the amount of 4-Mel in its caramel. That process is complete in California and will be finished in February 2014 in the rest of the country. Pepsi said it will also be taken out globally, but did not indicate a timeline .
