In a bold move that marks the first major innovation in the traditional cola category in two decades, PepsiCo has officially unveiled its Pepsi® Prebiotic Cola. The new product merges classic cola taste with modern wellness trends, incorporating prebiotic fiber and significantly lower sugar content — a step forward in making soda smarter for today’s health-conscious consumer.
A Healthier Twist on a Classic Favorite
The new Pepsi Prebiotic Cola retains the brand’s iconic crisp and refreshing flavor but with a better-for-you formula:
- 30 calories
- Only 5 grams of cane sugar
- No artificial sweeteners
- 3 grams of prebiotic fiber
It will debut in two flavors — Original Cola and Cherry Vanilla — both crafted to satisfy traditional cola lovers and health-minded drinkers alike.
Meeting Modern Consumer Expectations
PepsiCo says the launch is designed to meet evolving consumer preferences, especially the rising demand for beverages that not only taste good but offer functional benefits. The addition of prebiotics—known to support gut health—positions this cola as more than just a refreshment; it’s a wellness-forward choice in the carbonated beverage aisle.
Ram Krishnan, CEO of PepsiCo Beverages U.S., emphasized the brand’s continued push to innovate:
“Pepsi Prebiotic Cola represents the next leap forward in giving consumers choice, optionality, and functional ingredients in their cola experience—without sacrificing the iconic Pepsi taste we’re known for delivering.”
When and Where to Get It
Pepsi Prebiotic Cola will first be available online this fall and hit retail shelves in early 2026. It will be sold in 12 oz. single cans for sampling and 8-packs of 12 oz. cans, positioned alongside Pepsi’s full portfolio in the traditional soft drink aisle.
A Growing Wellness Beverage Portfolio
This launch comes on the heels of PepsiCo’s acquisition of poppi, the #1 modern soda brand known for its prebiotic drinks. By introducing Pepsi Prebiotic Cola, the company is not only expanding its functional beverage segment but also reinforcing its dominance in the evolving soda landscape.
With this step, PepsiCo is clearly signaling that the future of cola is both tasty and functional.
