Pepsi Special is a cola offering in Japan from PepsiCo which contains dextrin. Suntory claims that dextrin in the drink suppresses the absorption of fat. (Suntory has been PepsiCo's sole distributor in the Japanese market since 1997.) Pepsi Special has been designated a Food for Specified Health Uses by the government of Japan, meaning it is suitable for consumption “by people who wish to control health conditions, including blood pressure or blood cholesterol.” The drink is not available in the United States, and PepsiCo may face legal challenges from the US Food and Drug Administration regarding sales in the US.
