All varieties and flavors of Fanta are halal-friendly. Looking at the ingredients, none of them seem to be connected to animal by-products or alcohol.

Shaykh Ibn ‘Uthaymin said: The basic principle concerning all kinds of food, drink and clothing is that they are permissible until and unless proof is established that they are haram. Allah says (interpretation of the meaning):

He it is Who created for you all that is on earth” [Quran: Surah al-Baqarah 2:29]

So if something is haram, there should be a clear and detailed indication that it is haram. If there is no such proof, then it is not haram.

There is no harm in using soft drinks if they do not contain any substance that causes drunkenness even if the quantity of such material is very little. 

Because, there is a Hadith that reads: “If a big quantity of anything causes drunkenness, its small quantity is also forbidden” . [al-Musnad and al-Sunan].

Also, everything that can cause harms to one’s body is also prohibited.
