None of the products of Coca-Cola Great Britain contain ingredients derived from mammals. As some practicing vegetarians avoid fish products as well, it is important to note that some of our products contain minute traces of fish gelatine, which is used as a stabiliser for the beta-carotene colour. These products are:
Fanta Orange and Fanta Z Orange
Lilt and Lilt Z
Five Alive Squash Citrus Burst
Five Alive Squash Tropical Hit
Kia-Ora Orange Squash and Kia-Ora Orange Squash no added sugar
Kia-Ora Orange & Pineapple Squash and Kia-Ora Orange & Pineapple Squash no added sugar
Minute Maid Froot Refresh Orange & Passion Fruit
Schweppes Slimline Orange Crush
Schweppes Deuce no added sugar Orange & Guava

If it says that on the can, then it does have something derived from some sort of dead animal. Like gelatin comes from hooves, for example.
Actually some plants are fertilized with animal products, so no doubt have similarities to coca cola in that respect, but maybe that's carrying pickiness to an extreme.

If vegetarians are that way for healthy living, Coca Cola is not suitable. Other than that, I don't know.

I've just checked the label of the one I'm drinking. It's the full sugar version though.
It refers to carbonated water, sugar,colour - caramel E150d, phosphoric acid, flavourings (including caffeine).

Guess visit the website is your answer.
