Choose 330ml canned multipacks for food service after security or in an airport staff area, rather than relying on them for hand luggage: GOV.UK says containers larger than 100ml cannot pass through security at most UK airports. For service, check how many individual cans you need, then choose by flavour, sugars, caffeine and ingredients; zero sugar does not mean caffeine-free.
Check whether you intend to carry the drinks through security before choosing a pack. GOV.UK says containers larger than 100ml cannot pass through security at most UK airports, so a 330ml can is not a dependable hand-luggage choice.
Separate cans can serve people individually. An 8 × 330ml pack contains eight cans and 2.64 litres in total; check whether that count fits the people you expect to serve and the space available.
Check caffeine and sugars separately. Coca-Cola GB and Pepsi UK list caffeine in standard Coca-Cola Zero Sugar and Pepsi Max, while caffeine-free versions are distinct products. Flavour and the ingredients on the can may also affect the choice.
Decide first whether the cans need to pass through security. For post-security service, narrow the choice by pack size and the preferences of the people drinking them.
| Priority | What to check | Your needs |
|---|---|---|
| Airport security | Check the rules at your departure and transfer airports. GOV.UK says liquids in containers over 100ml cannot pass through security at most UK airports. | If I need drinks in hand luggage, I cannot assume a 330ml can will pass through security. |
| Pack size | Check both the number of cans and the volume of each. An 8 × 330ml pack has eight separate cans and 2.64 litres in total. | For a staff room or service after security, I want enough individual cans for the expected demand without confusing an eight-pack with a larger variant. |
| Sugars and caffeine | Read both details on the exact variant. Coca-Cola GB and Pepsi UK list caffeine in standard Coca-Cola Zero Sugar and Pepsi Max; Tesco identifies Coca-Cola Zero Sugar Zero Caffeine as caffeine-free. | I may want a cola without caffeine, or I may be happy with a standard zero-sugar cola that contains it. |
| Flavour and ingredients | Check whether people want cola, orange or lemon-and-lime, then read the current can label for sweeteners and other ingredient information. Do not treat Fanta Orange and Fanta Zero Orange as the same variant. | An orange-flavoured option might suit the group, but I need to check the particular product if its ingredients or caffeine status matter. |
A 330ml drink can is a liquid container over the 100ml limit that GOV.UK says applies at most UK airports.
Check the rules at the departure airport and any transfer airport before buying cans for hand luggage.
Standard Coca-Cola Zero Sugar and Pepsi Max contain caffeine, according to their manufacturers. Caffeine-free versions have distinct product names.
If caffeine matters, check that the exact can or listing says caffeine-free.
A sugar claim does not tell you whether a drink contains sweeteners or meets an individual ingredient requirement.
Read the label on the specific variant before serving it to someone with dietary requirements.
Pack count alone does not establish the total volume or confirm that two listings refer to the same variant.
Check the number of cans and millilitres per can before ordering for a staff room or service area.
These brand references describe particular drink variants, not every product sold under each name.
For cola, distinguish standard Coca-Cola Zero Sugar from Coca-Cola Zero Sugar Zero Caffeine.
Pepsi Max and Pepsi Max Caffeine Free offer distinct cola variants.
Fanta Zero Orange is an orange-flavoured option rather than a cola.
These canned multipacks are options to consider for staff rooms or food service after security. Check each variant against the flavour, pack size and ingredient requirements of the people you are serving.

A caffeine-free cola listing in a 330ml can format for post-security service. Confirm the pack quantity on the product page before ordering, as the title gives both ‘8pk’ and ‘8 × 330ml’.

Eight 330ml cola cans may suit individual servings when caffeine is acceptable. Pepsi UK and Tesco list caffeine in standard Pepsi Max and 0g sugars per 330ml; it is not the caffeine-free variant.

Eight 330ml cans offer an orange-flavoured choice for individual service. This is Fanta Orange, not the Fanta Zero Orange variant; check the exact can label if sugars, caffeine or ingredients affect your choice.
Do not assume you can. GOV.UK says liquids in containers larger than 100ml cannot pass through security at most UK airports. Check the rules at your departure airport and any transfer airport before relying on a 330ml can in hand luggage.
No. Coca-Cola GB and Pepsi UK list caffeine in standard Coca-Cola Zero Sugar and Pepsi Max. If you need a caffeine-free drink, check that wording on the exact variant rather than relying on its sugar description.
Check the can count and size, then read the exact can label for sugars, caffeine, sweeteners and other ingredients relevant to the people being served. Do not assume that similarly named standard and zero-sugar variants have the same information.
