Coca-Cola said the coronavirus disrupted its supply chain of artificial sweeteners from China. According to CNN, sugar alternatives have been delayed for Coke’s suppliers for its diet and zero-sugar drinks. The company said they “initiated contingency supply plans” and don’t “foresee a short-term impact.” Coca-Cola didn’t specify which sweetener or sweeteners were affected by the supply and export delays. The company said it has also “implemented precautionary measures to protect employees in China.”
