Reported risk: Health Canada has completed a follow-up survey of soft drinks and reconfirms that the benzene levels in these products do not represent a risk to the public. Health Canada's study was conducted in 2007 and is a follow-up to a soft drink survey done in 2006 which found that levels of benzene did not pose a risk to the public. An improved and extremely sensitive benzene detection method was used for the 2007 survey. The survey found that most of the products tested had levels well below the Canadian guideline of five micrograms per litre of benzene in drinking water. The average benzene levels in most products remain low.
