All of these contributions are not with out controversy, though. In the recent past, 2006, It was found that Pepsi products produced in India contained dangerous levels of pesticides and other chemicals(Sean McLain). This is not what most people usually associated with soda pop. This contamination of Pepsi 's products stems from production practices implemented in India, but not in Europe or the United States(Business Week).
