United States v. Forty Barrels & Twenty Kegs of Coca-Cola
''United States v. Forty Barrels and Twenty Kegs of Coca-Cola'', , was a federal suit under which the government unsuccessfully attempted to force The Coca-Cola Company to remove caffeine from its product.
==Context==
In 1906, Harvey Washington Wiley passed the Pure Food and Drug Act as the first commissioner of the Food and Drug Administration (FDA). The FDA started prosecuting companies which were selling products with harmful components and companies which were making misleading claims about their products.〔 In 1903, Coca-Cola had already started using spent coca leaves (which only carried trace amounts of cocaine) and had dropped the claim that it cured headaches.〔 But it still contained caffeine, and Wiley believed that even small amounts of caffeine in beverages were harmful to people, and he was worried that Coca-Cola was being consumed by children as young as 4 years old.〔 So, in 1909, he ordered the seizure of 40 barrels and 20 kegs of a Coca-Cola shipment.〔
