Would coca cola bottles be considered regional if the bottling plant is within the required distance?

Good question. A product can only be considered regional if the individual ingredients are also harvested within 100 miles. In this case, the sugar cane, etc would need to meet that requirement in order to qualify. Beverages are particularly difficult to get credit for under MRc5 through the regional option!

I thougth so. And besides, coca cola may not be that healthy either...
