While Pepsi Raw obviously cannot be a truly raw beverage, it is a better alternative to the standard soft drinks available.

Pepsi introduced this in the United Kingdom in 2008 as a "Sparkling Cola Drink with Natural Plant Extracts". Pepsi Raw contains naturally sourced ingredients that are free from artificial flavoring, colorings, preservatives and sweeteners. Advertising for Pepsi Raw presents the product as a natural alternative to other colas. Pepsi Raw is being marketed in the United States and Mexico under the name Pepsi Natural.

  (including natural caffeine and kola nut extract).
