Since safrole, a key component of sassafras, was banned by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration in 1960 due to its carcinogenicity, most commercial root beers have been flavored using artificial sassafras flavoring, [1] [2] but a few (e.g. Hansen's) use a safrole-free sassafras extract.

Though many observers think of New Orleans as the home of Barq’s Root Beer, the popular soft drink got its start in Biloxi in 1898, when New Orleans native Edward Charles Edmond Barq invented the soft drink with a bite. A trained chemist, Barq worked on Louisiana sugar plantations in the winters and spent his summers in Biloxi, bottling artesian water and concocting “soda pop flavors.” Barq’s Root Beer was first bottled by the Biloxi Artesian Bottling Works and began to be distributed nationally in 1906. Barq's or ( Barq's Famous Olde Tyme Root Beer) is a soft drink ( soda) which has a caramel color in it. Barq's is a brand of root beer and is notable for being the first major North American root beer which contained caffeine. Barq's is manufactured by The Coca-Cola Company. Barq's is pronounced "Barks". a b Smith, Andrew (November 30, 2012). The Oxford Encyclopedia of Food and Drink in America. pp.1, 188. ISBN 978-0199734962.Digging for facts". bottlebooks.com.

In 1886, Hires began to bottle a beverage made from his famous extract. By 1893, root beer was distributed widely across the United States. Non-alcoholic versions of root beer became commercially successful, especially during Prohibition. [8] [9] Root beer has been drunk in the United States since at least the eighteenth century. It has been sold in confectionery stores since at least the 1840s, and written recipes for root beer have been documented since the 1860s. In the nineteenth century, it was often consumed hot. It was combined with soda as early as the 1850s; at that time it was sold as a syrup rather than a ready-made beverage. [4] Smith, Andrew (August 30, 2006). Encyclopedia of Junk Food and Fast Food. Greenwood. pp.231–232. ISBN 978-0313335273. The Barq's that is dispensed from Coca-Cola Freestyle machines is caffeine-free. [12] [13] This is because the system uses the same concentrated, microdosed ingredient for both Barq's and Diet Barq's; the only difference between the two is the sweetener that is added. It is also common for Barq's that is sold in the state of Utah to be caffeine-free because many members of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints avoid caffeinated beverages.
