Are sodas such as coke, sprite etc kosher internationally or do they need a hechsher in each country?

I think that you're spending too much time on DDF

I'm not sure why you would consider expecting to be made whole from a botched order as "beyond the pale"- when someone orders specific travel meals it's with the understanding that the specifics of the order are time sensitive & all the details are essential. That is the nature of the business & that's what goes into the costs of the product. If someone is going to provide the service they should be expected to stand behind it when they botch up- which From my understanding is exactly what POM was doing until this new guy showed up..

Standard coke is good

Only Kosher in USA and Canada without hechsher. You really should ask your Rabbi and not some online forum.

You better have solid sources to back yourself up . And don't give the "I heard from someone who knows this stuff" crap!

Sounds like POM is having service hiccups... not good.

Look under Coca-Cola: http://www.crcweb.org/beverage_list.php
(Additionally, if it's all kosher, who cares what type of bottle the Mexican Coke is in?)

Yeah what are you talking about? Do they have a hechsher in England? Switzerland?

So you saw something online, made your own diyuk out of it and then proceeded to use that self made diyuk to say I'm grossly wrong. Aha

I don't live there, so I don't know. Coke needs a hechsher. It's just not necessarily printed on the label. In some countries, such as the US and Canada, everything is certified, even when the hechsher isn't printed on the label.

No.it.doesn't. End of story, I don't care how many online sources you bring me.
Either way as you said this isn't the proper place to ask halacha questions

Why do you think all Coke is kosher? Because it doesn't contain any problematic ingredients, and therefore doesn't require a hechsher like water and coffee don't?

Coke needs a hechsher. In the USA all Coke is under the OU, even when it's not printed. That can't be said for Vietnamese, Chinese, or Russian Coke.

If it was only a thought I wouldn't be so cocky about it. I am right in this case and will gladly take any hell you incur due to this. And stop spreading misinformation based on your own sevaras

Anyways, please do yourself a favor and call up a Kashrus agency and ask them yourself.

As I said before, quoting online articles will do little to sway me. And regarding calling an agency, do you think I'm being so stubborn based on hearsay or my own conclusions? If you would only know...

I have no idea which one of you is right, but just know that you're being annoying. If you have something to say, say it. I'm not sure you realize how ridiculous it is to essentially post in a discussion forum, "you're wrong and I know it", without any further details. I welcome your constructive input to the discussion.
