The battle for pesti-free colas in Rajasthan has taken a new turn, with a public interest litigation (PIL) petitioner expressing doubts over the test results of the samples submitted in high court showing zero microbial contents. The case is to come up for hearing on September 19. Taking advantage of this report, both Pepsico and Coke had gone on record that their products had been absolved of any pesticide content in the state and that Rajasthan was the first state to do so in the entire country. Later, it came to light that the tests conducted on the samples of these soft drinks were only to detect the microbial contents and not any pesticides or insecticides.
