PEPSI SOLVES SALES DECLINE

GLOBAL beverage giant PepsiCo has announced it will remove artificial aspartame from its Diet Pepsi product in the US later in 2015, after consumer backlash against aspartame saw PepsiCo’s sales drop. It has been reported that the move to ditch aspartame came after a 5.2 per cent decline in Diet Pepsi’s sales volume in 2014.
