USA – Coca-Cola has confirmed it is planning to introduce a new dairy drink called Swerve in July or August.

Company spokesman Scott Williamson acknowledged the imminent release of the new product after industry newsletter Beverage Digest published details about the drink.

The drink will contain more than 50% semi-skimmed milk, which means it can carry the Real seal of the American Dairy Association.

The drink will be packaged in 12-ounce (355ml) cans, and the graphics show a cow wearing dark glasses. The product does not require refrigeration before opening.
