The four zero-sugar or low-calorie soft drink labels read here all list the synthetic sweeteners E955 (sucralose) and E950 (acesulfame potassium). Coca-Cola Plus and 7UP low-calorie add E951 (aspartame). The article also gives the EFSA ADI where a source exists and each substance's status in Vietnam.
The Coca-Cola Việt Nam brand page describes Coca-Cola Zero Sugar as an additional choice “với dòng sản phẩm không đường, không calorie” (from the sugar-free, zero-calorie range) [1]. Suntory PepsiCo Việt Nam lists 7Up Lemon Soda (no sugar, zero calories) in its low-sugar product list [2].
On the label, “không đường” (sugar-free) shows as the line “đường 0 g” in the nutrition table per 100 ml [3]. The Zero Sugar ingredient list names no sugar but names synthetic sweeteners [4].
The article picks labels whose ingredients are printed in full on a readable page. Other zero-sugar drinks are not included.
The first three rows come from the Coca-Cola Việt Nam brand page. The 7UP low-calorie row comes from a product page on trungtamthuoc.com. The exact wording of each label is in the Sources section.
| Product | Codes on the label | Highest level |
|---|---|---|
| Coca-Cola Zero Sugar[4] | Sweeteners: E955 E950. Others: E150d E338 E331 E211 | low |
| Coca-Cola Light[5] | Sweeteners: E955 E950. Others: E150d E338 E331 E211 | low |
| Coca-Cola Plus (food supplement, with fibre)[6] | Sweeteners: E951 E950 E955. Others: E150d E338 E331 E211 | low |
| 7UP low-calorie (320 ml, with fibre)[7] | Sweeteners: E951 E955 E950. Others: E330 E331 E296 E211 | low |
The three Coca-Cola labels print the same acidity-regulator group (338, 331(iii)) and preservative (211) [4][5][6]. The 7UP low-calorie label prints acidity regulators (330, 331)(ii) (296) and preservative (211), with no code 338 [7]. All four labels list natural flavouring.
The three sweeteners are all named in Appendix 1 of Circular 24/2019/TT-BYT: 950 [8], 951 [8] and 955 [8]. The 950 and 955 rows give them the functions sweetener and flavour enhancer; the 951 row gives flavour enhancer and sweetener.
Each code chip links to that code's own page on Yenzo. That page gives its status in Vietnam with a cited source, and the ADI where a source exists.
“The Panel concluded that aspartame was not of safety concern at the current aspartame exposure estimates or at the ADI of 40 mg/kg bw/day.”
Scientific Opinion on the re-evaluation of aspartame (E 951) as a food additive[10]
For sucralose, EFSA's 2026 re-evaluation concluded there is no need to revise the current ADI of 15 mg/kg body weight a day [9]. The EU Scientific Committee on Food had set that value earlier; EFSA keeps it in this document.
The aspartame conclusion is tied to the exposure estimates at the time of EFSA's 2013 assessment and to the ADI in the quoted sentence [10]. Yenzo does not replace these figures with its own assessment.
For Coca-Cola Zero Sugar the label gives energy 0 kcal and sugar 0 g per 100 ml [3]. The ingredient list shows synthetic sweeteners (955, 950), a preservative (211) and caffeine [4]. The phrase “sugar-free, zero-calorie” is how the brand page describes the product range [1].
Yenzo gives no general verdict. The article gives the ADI where a source exists: aspartame 40 mg/kg body weight a day per EFSA 2013 [10], sucralose 15 mg/kg body weight a day per EFSA 2026 [9].
950 is acesulfame potassium and 955 is sucralose. Appendix 1 of Circular 24/2019/TT-BYT lists both with the function sweetener [8][8]. On the Coca-Cola Zero Sugar label the two codes sit side by side in brackets: (955, 950) [4]. The Coca-Cola Plus label lists both together with 951 [6].
Yenzo does not rank products and gives no health advice. The article only shows which codes the label lists and their status under Circular 24/2019/TT-BYT. Two labels also list fibre: Coca-Cola Plus 11.3 g/l [6] and 7UP low-calorie 13 g/L [7].

Yenzo reads the label, even in Vietnamese, and shows which additives a product contains.
