PepsiCo announced it will launch a prebiotic cola under the Pepsi brand this fall, following its $1.95 billion acquisition of prebiotic soda maker Poppi.

The new Pepsi Prebiotic Cola contains three grams of prebiotic fiber and five grams of cane sugar, aiming to attract health-conscious consumers as traditional soda sales decline.

The drink will be available online this fall and in stores next year, CNBC has reported.

Meanwhile, Coca-Cola recently introduced its own prebiotic soda, Simply Pop, as both companies tap into the growing functional beverage trend.
