Because of its low value, sodium benzoate is still used as the main preservative in China.According to Liang Zuyu, technical consultant of Coca-Cola (China) Beverage Co., the cost of choosing preservatives within a safe range also needs to be considered.

Zhai Mei, deputy director of the public affairs and communications department of Coca-Cola (China) Beverage Co LTD, said the price of preservatives is an important factor.At present, domestic beverage enterprises generally use "sodium benzoate" as a preservative, to give up the cheap preservative requires the whole industry to act together.
