Tehbotol Sosro investigates viral video of foaming beverage

Tehbotol Sosro has launched a formal investigation following a viral video alleging that its boxed beverage products contained soap-like foam. The footage, which surfaced during demonstrations near Bundaran Hotel Indonesia in Jakarta on October 28, 2026, shows a man pressing a carton and observing foam emerging from the straw hole. The individual in the video claimed the liquid emitted a scent resembling soap and reported that other demonstrators who tasted the drink experienced a similar soapy flavor.

In an official statement, Tehbotol Sosro confirmed it is treating the matter seriously and is conducting a thorough, objective investigation to determine the facts. The company emphasized its commitment to consumer safety, quality, and public trust. No official conclusion has been reached regarding the cause of the foam or whether the product shown in the video is an authentic part of their official distribution.
