Pepsi launches its own prebiotic soda, available in stores early 2026
Pepsi is hopping on the prebiotic soda bandwagon. PepsiCo announced its Pepsi Prebiotic Cola on Monday, July 21. One 12-ounce can of the new drink will contain five grams of cane sugar, 30 calories and three grams of prebiotic fiber. Pepsi Prebiotic Cola will be available starting this fall in Original Cola and Cherry Vanilla, according to a PepsiCo news release. Prebiotic soda has boomed in recent years with popular brands like Poppi, Olipop and Bloom. The soft drinks, served in bright, colorful cans, are promoted as healthy for the gut and better for consumers than traditional sodas. While dietitians agree with the latter, the drinks shouldn't be expected to cure gut health on their own. Pepsi Prebiotic Cola comes just a few months after PepsiCo announced the acquisition of Poppi for $1.95 billion and Coca-Cola announced Simply Pop, its own line of prebiotic soft drinks. Are prebiotic sodas like Poppi healthy? Here's what dietitians say When will Pepsi Prebiotic Cola be available in stores? Pepsi Prebiotic Cola will be available online this fall and in retailers in early 2026, according to a news release. The prebiotic soda will be available in single 12-ounce cans and 8-packs of 12-ounce cans. What is prebiotic soda? Prebiotic sodas first gained traction in 2018, with the release of popular brands Poppi and Olipop. Prebiotics are plant fibers that serve as food for the body's microbiome – the body's good bacteria, according to the Cleveland Clinic. Most prebiotic sodas contain between two to nine grams of prebiotic fiber per can, while the recommended daily value for fiber is between 25 to 38 grams per day, the Cleveland Clinic states. Is prebiotic soda good for you? The answer isn't so black and white and research remains premature. Prebiotic sodas are better than traditional sodas, but they shouldn't be expected to provide much gut-healing benefits, Jessica Alfano, a clinical dietitian at New York's Huntington Hospital, previously told USA TODAY. While a can of prebiotic soda won't make someone consume more than the recommended daily value of fiber, too much can cause bloating, diarrhea and gas, according to the Cleveland Clinic. To reach the recommended daily value for fiber, Alfano recommended eating kimchi, sauerkraut, fermented pickles and fruits and vegetables.

Bloom Nutrition enters prebiotic soda category
Austin-based Bloom Nutrition is expanding into the growing prebiotic soda market with Bloom Pop, debuting at Walmart. Why it matters: The company aims to capitalize on skyrocketing consumer demand for gut-friendly, low-sugar drinks — and compete in the increasingly crowded better-for-you soda category now worth over $1 billion. A growing number of wellness brands, including Austin-based Poppi and national startups like Olipop, are seeking to disrupt the $110 billion soft drink market. The big picture: Founded in 2019, Bloom first made its name with a greens and superfoods powder, which it claims supports health, digestion and energy. The company's push into prebiotic sodas follows the success of its sparkling energy drink, launched last year. Bloom says it sold more than 35 million cans of its energy drink in its first year. What they're saying:"Launching a better-for-you soda was a natural evolution for Bloom," Bloom co-founder CEO Greg LaVecchia said in a statement. "We've never shied away from competitive categories, because that's where the real opportunities live."

Ominous blood-like substance off Aussie coast after 9,000 animals die
An ominous, blood-red substance has been filmed drifting through the sea for metres on end off the South Australian coast this week, as concerns rise in the state over the ongoing toxic algae crisis that has so far been responsible for the deaths of 8,000 to 9,000 marine animals, spanning over 390 species. Footage shared on social media, attracting thousands of responses among Australians, shows a red, paint-like substance billowing through the ocean off Wirrina Cove, a locality on the Fleurieu Peninsula. Worried locals responded, questioning what had left the water such a bright red colour. "Whatever it is, I hope it doesn't make any more ocean critters sick or kill them. I worry for the whales that have been seen at Victor Harbour," a woman said. Authorities in SA continue to grapple with how best to manage the crisis, with experts saying death totals are based on reported observations and are likely underestimates. The bloom, caused by Karenia mikimotoi, has impacted a wide range of marine life, including fish, sharks, rays, invertebrates, and even iconic species like the leafy sea dragon. Yahoo News Australia questioned the SA Department of Primary Industries and Regions (PIRSA) about the bright red algal bloom at Wirrina Cove. A spokesperson confirmed it is indeed another form of algae — Noctiluca scintillans. "Noctiluca scintillans is not known to have harmful impacts on marine life," they said. Noctiluca scintillans, often nicknamed "sea sparkle," is a type of single-celled marine organism known for its bioluminescence — a glow it emits when disturbed by waves or movement in the water. While beautiful at night, during the day it often appears as a red or pinkish bloom, which is why it's sometimes referred to as a "red tide." This red colour comes not from Noctiluca itself, but from the pigments of the tiny plankton it eats and stores inside its body. 'Toxic to anything with gills': algal bloom spreading Algal bloom turns coast into a 'marine graveyard' Warning to Aussie beachgoers after deadly discovery in waves Despite being non-toxic to humans and not producing traditional algal toxins, Noctiluca can still be harmful in high concentrations. Large blooms can deplete oxygen levels in the water as they die and decay, leading to fish kills or marine life stress, especially in enclosed or poorly flushed coastal areas. Additionally, it can disrupt food webs by outcompeting other plankton and altering nutrient dynamics. Noctiluca blooms are relatively common in Australian waters, especially during warm, calm conditions, and have been observed along coastlines from New South Wales to South Australia. While they attract attention for their visual spectacle, particularly during night-time blooms, their presence can often be an indicator of nutrient imbalance or environmental change in marine ecosystems. Professor Shauna Murray of the School of Life Sciences at the University of Technology, Sydney, is an expert on algal blooms. In an interview with Yahoo News, she said it's probably "too early to tell" what's causing this apparent nutrient imbalance in southern waters. "I think it's too early to say exactly what factors are driving this particular harmful algal bloom (HAB) of Karenia mikimotoi," she said. "Every species of harmful algae has highly individual conditions that it grows under, and these vary. Karenia mikimotoi is normally a temperate species, which blooms in the north of China, the north Atlantic, and other countries. "However, having said that, it could be that a one-degree increase in water temperatures over an extended time frame could be contributing to the growth of the species. Other conditions, such as currents, water nutrients, and other factors, are also contributing. HABs are almost always due to a specific combination of factors unique to the algal species." In general, Murray Said, climate change is "certainly having long-term impacts on HABs. "We are seeing HABs extend their range further south, like blooms of Noctiluca scintillans, which now occur into Tasmanian waters, but previously were only found in mainland Australia," she said. Karenia mikimotoi produce reactive oxygen species that damage gill tissues, leading to suffocation in marine animals, affecting ecosystems along approximately 150 kilometres of coastline, including areas around the Fleurieu Peninsula, Kangaroo Island, and Adelaide's metropolitan beaches. The situation remains critical, with ongoing monitoring and response efforts by authorities and scientists.
