Pepsi Special is a cola offering in Japan from PepsiCo which contains dextrin.[1] Suntory claims that dextrin in the drink suppresses the absorption of fat.[1] (Suntory has been PepsiCo's sole distributor in the Japanese market since 1997.)[2] Pepsi Special has been designated a Food for Specified Health Uses by the government of Japan, meaning it is suitable for consumption “by people who wish to control health conditions, including blood pressure or blood cholesterol.”[1] The drink is not available in the United States,[1] and PepsiCo may face legal challenges from the US Food and Drug Administration regarding sales in the US.[3]
