PepsiCo (PEP) CFO Hugh Johnston explains why the company has raised its sales forecasts. Regarding the WHO's announcements on aspartame, he says that PepsiCo was prepared for them, but that numerous studies and health agencies have concluded that aspartame is safe. PepsiCo now only uses aspartame in small quantities in a few products, and does not expect this announcement to have a strong impact on consumers.
