Stepan Company, a Coca-Cola contractor, has I believe the only U.S. license to import coca leaves and extract all of the cocaine from them. The cocaine is then sold to Mallinckrodt Incorporated, the only American company permitted to supply cocaine or cocaine-derived pharmaceuticals.

Coca-Cola never had cocaine added as an ingredient, only whatever remained in the leaves.
