Pepsi announces Prebiotic Cola

The Drop: Pepsi announced Prebiotic Cola. Each can conatins 3 grams of prebiotic fiber, 5 grams of cane sugar, and comes in at just 30 calories.

The Details: What’s actually different

Pepsi Prebiotic Cola swaps high fructose corn syrup for 5 grams of real cane sugar, keeping the calorie count at 30 per can. The prebiotic fiber comes from chicory root, and the brand promises it “delivers the classic crisp, refreshing taste of Pepsi.”

Pepsi Prebiotic Colais launching with two flavors: Original Cola and Cherry Vanilla, both with the same nutritional profile.

The announcement comes after PepsiCo’s recent acquisition of poppi, the brand that took prebiotic sodas mainstream. Now Pepsi is bringing that approach to its flagship cola brand, aiming to meet the changing consumer preferences for more functional ingredients.

“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,” says Ram Krishnan, CEO, PepsiCo Beverages US.

Where to buy

Available in 12 oz. single cans for trial and 8-packs of 12 oz. cans, Pepsi Prebiotic Cola will launch with online retailers this fall ahead of a full retail rollout in early 2026.
