No Passover Coke In California?

[Dan]

From the CRC:
"Coca Cola will not be available in California this year due to a quirk in the law that would make the ingredients unacceptable. In Chicago, products produced by Pepsi Cola had two different kosher certifications, the Kof-K and US Kosher. In states where Coca Cola is available with an OU-P for Pesach, it will only be available in Regular and Diet flavors (not even a Caffeine-Free version). This year, in New York, Coca Cola items will be made with an OU-P in 2 liter bottles."

So what's the quirk?

And who from CA will pay me the most to bring them Coke

Of course, but for most on here that won't make any difference.

GLATT MART on Pico Blvd is carrying it kasher l'pesach.

I wonder if the "quirk" has something to do with this;

Coca Cola explained that “the new alternative process caramel required to meet the State of California’s guidelines related to Proposition 65 does not meet the Kosher for Passover requirements.  We believe it will in 2013.” Meanwhile in Chicago, products produced by Pepsi Cola had two different kosher certifications, the Kof-K and US Kosher, based in California. The latter was distributed by independent wholesalers while the company itself distributed the Kof-K products. But even in states where Coca Cola is available with an OU-P for Pesach, it will only be available in Regular and Diet flavors (not even a Caffeine-Free version).

If you are bringing the B I will bring the H’s. Hopefully nobody knows what I am talking about.

I think you can't buy it from the local supermarkets but the kosher stores seem to be selling. I just bought from Cambridge in the valley yesterday...
