Food group rejects call to add warning on soft drinks

Coroner David Crerar issued a final report Tuesday into the death of 31-year-old Natasha Harris, concluding that the mother of eight died from a heart attack. He said the large amount of Coca-Cola she drank likely led to metabolic imbalances that gave rise to her heart problems, adding that Coke was likely a “substantial factor” in her death.

But New Zealand Food & Grocery Council Chief Executive Katherine Rich said “there isn't a labeling regime in the world” that could have prevented the death of somebody who chose to drink the equivalent of 30 cans of Coke a day.
