In response to the ban of Coca-Cola Zero in Venezuela, Coca-Cola China says the product is safe and meets all necessary regulations in China.

The website of Coca-Cola China says its drinks are safe and meet quality standards and regulations in China. The company has no plan to adjust its sales strategies.

Zhai Mei. Director, Public & Comm. Affairs, Coca Cola(China), said, "Our products are absolutely safe, there's no problem. And the Venezuelan government has not explained why it banned the product."

Supermarkets say the ingredients scandal has not affected sales of Coke Zero. China's food safety regulator says the ingredient sodium cyclamate is a commonly-used sweetener around the world.

But the General Administration of Quality Supervision, Inspection and Quarantine also says it will pay close attention to the issue.
