A court in India has asked Coca Cola and Pepsi to respond to charges that their drinks contain harmful chemicals and pesticides.
The Supreme Court order was in response to a public interest petition by a NGO Centre for Public Interest Litigations.
Earlier this week another NGO Centre for Science and Environment (CSE) had alleged that the drinks contained pesticides that posed health risks.
Soft drink manufacturers have denied the charges.
The Delhi-based Centre for Public Interest Litigations wanted the court to ask Pepsi and Coca Cola to declare the "exact amount of harmful contents in each bottle".
The court has given the cola companies four weeks to respond.
Earlier, the CSE said that a new study had found high levels of pesticides in Pepsi and Coca Cola - more than 25 times than the prescribed the limit.
The group said the study was carried out across the country and samples of various soft drinks were collected from 12 states.
