What can I substitute for soda pop in a sweet pork recipe?
I was looking up sweet pork recipes and every one of them call for Coke or Dr. Pepper.
I avoid soda as much as possible because of questionable ingredients: specifically GMO corn syrup, sodium benzoate and caramel color.
Are there any safer substitutions I could use to achieve the same/similar flavor?

There are some pretty serious arguments that GMOs can be problematic in terms of the economic relationships they create and their unintended economic, social, and environmental effects. But the science really does not support the notion that they are a health or food safety problem. Food safety and the obesity epidemic are really the huge public health issues in relation to the food supply. Food safety is ironically a much bigger hazard to the public when it comes to produce and meat than it is for ultra-standardized, mass-produced products like Coke.

You know, in many countries you can definitely get soda that doesn't use any corn syrup (but rather - old fashioned cane sugar); not sure about the Sodium Benzoate though. Have you considered looking for a different brand of soda?

@einpoklum The term "soda pop" in the title makes it almost certain that the asker is in the US, where almost every mass-market sweetened product uses corn syrup. It's certainly possible to get soda that doesn't have it, but you have to look for it.

Coca-Cola began phasing benzoates (both sodium and potassium) out of its products in 2010. Sprite and Fanta, for whatever reason, were excluded from this process, and Coke Zero and Barq’s still have benzoates listed in the ingredients, but regular Coca-Cola does not. Apparently a PR move, since Coca-Cola was never one of the soft drinks found to have problems with benzoates (only a small minority did, and have been reformulated). Coke with no corn syrup is also available, either marketed as such (i.e. Coke Life) or non-US bottling (e.g. “Mexican Coke” uses cane sugar).

Apple juice is good with pork. The frozen cans of concentrate are cheap and perfect for this use.
Apple juice lacks the dark notes of cola. To get those I propose you add hoisin sauce. It is very sweet, a great mix with pork (I have some boneless ribs soaking in some right now awaiting the grill) and will lend the apple juice more of a dark sweet tone.
If you want to stay pure to your recipe, sub in one of the organic root beers on the market. They are easy to find and they will brag about how they don't do the stuff you dislike about Big Cola. Whole Foods has a store brand one you could use. Root beers vary a lot; try some first to make sure it has flavors you want for your pork.

I learned a recipe for a chicken dish from my mother. Her recipe also called for cola to create a sticky and caramelised sauce.
She taught me, however, that the cola could be replaced with fruit juice. Her preference was a mix of pineapple, mango, and orange juice. Shops where I live call this juice mix "tropical fruit" juice. It stands to reason, though, that any of the above juices individually, and maybe others, will work, too.
Here's an example of a recipe similar to what my mother taught me, supporting my claim of the juice helping to create the property sought by your question

The main function that soda adds in these recipes is as a flavored syrup that also has an acid. So make your own. Add your preferred sweetener to water with some form of acidulation (I prefer apple cider vinegar with pork) and a few spices and you will have something suitable to use.

While it doesn't use corn syrup, Hansen's does list caramel color as an ingredient (on their regular cola; i haven't checked the others). This is one of the questionable ingredients that the Asker was attempting to avoid. That being said, there might be an 'all natural' or 'old fashioned' cola available that does meet the criteria, even though Hansen's as a brand does not.

While it doesn't use corn syrup, Hansen's does list caramel color as an ingredient (on their regular cola; i haven't checked the others). This is one of the questionable ingredients that the Asker was attempting to avoid. That being said, there might be an 'all natural' or 'old fashioned' cola available that does meet the criteria, even though Hansen's as a brand does not.

There are some pretty serious arguments that GMOs can be problematic in terms of the economic relationships they create and their unintended economic, social, and environmental effects. But the science really does not support the notion that they are a health or food safety problem. Food safety and the obesity epidemic are really the huge public health issues in relation to the food supply. Food safety is ironically a much bigger hazard to the public when it comes to produce and meat than it is for ultra-standardized, mass-produced products like Coke.

You know, in many countries you can definitely get soda that doesn't use any corn syrup (but rather - old fashioned cane sugar); not sure about the Sodium Benzoate though. Have you considered looking for a different brand of soda?

@einpoklum The term "soda pop" in the title makes it almost certain that the asker is in the US, where almost every mass-market sweetened product uses corn syrup. It's certainly possible to get soda that doesn't have it, but you have to look for it.

Coca-Cola began phasing benzoates (both sodium and potassium) out of its products in 2010. Sprite and Fanta, for whatever reason, were excluded from this process, and Coke Zero and Barq’s still have benzoates listed in the ingredients, but regular Coca-Cola does not. Apparently a PR move, since Coca-Cola was never one of the soft drinks found to have problems with benzoates (only a small minority did, and have been reformulated). Coke with no corn syrup is also available, either marketed as such (i.e. Coke Life) or non-US bottling (e.g. “Mexican Coke” uses cane sugar).
