                                Over half of all carbonated drinks on the market today contain added phosphoric acid. While this additive is common in many major brands, especially colas, the answer to the question 'Do all sodas have phosphates?' is a definitive no, as many popular sodas use other acidulants or contain no phosphates at all.
