The Kirin Beverage product Kirin Mets Cola, pictured is the first cola to achieve clearance under Japans strict Foods for Specified Health Uses (FOSHU) regime, regulated by Japan Health and Nutrition Food Association (JHNFA).
Kirin Beverages said that the cola launched in Japan on April 24 nationwide in 480ml PET bottles, with a suggested retail price of 150 yen (1.54) without value-added-tax (VAT) was mixed with an indigestible dextrin ingredient that reduced fat absorption during a meal.
