"Our bottlers have not been contacted by the student group, and thus were not able to provide the full perspective of the issues raised in the report," the statement said.
The company said it initiated an investigation as soon as it learned about the report. According to the Coca-Cola investigation, "the allegations raised in the report are unfounded".
"We are continuing our internal investigations and if we find any violation of our labor policies we will correct them," the statement claimed.
The students' report concludes by demanding the multinational corporation "apologizes to the Chinese people and its dispatched workers".
It also called on people to stop drinking Coca-Cola beverages until the company takes the action.
The report will be sent to both the All China Federation of Trade Unions (ACFTU) and Coca-Cola China, the students said on Sunday.
