Preliminary Statement

This Schedule relates to 68,990,244 shares of the common stock, $0.001 per share (the "Common Stock") of Bravo! Foods International Corp. ("Bravo"). Coca-Cola Enterprises Inc. ("CCE") may acquire the Common Stock upon the exercise of separate options (the "Options") granted by the shareholders of Bravo identified under Item 6 of this Schedule to CCE on July 13, 2005, pursuant to Stock Option Agreements (the "Option Agreements") attached to this Schedule as Exhibit 1(a)-(i).

Item 1. Security and Issuer

Common Stock, $0.001 par value

Bravo! Foods International Corp
11300 US Highway 1, Suite 202
North Palm Beach, Florida 33408.

Item 2. Identity and Background

The person filing this statement is CCE, a corporation organized under Delaware law. The principal business of CCE is marketing, selling, manufacturing and distributing nonalcoholic beverages. The address of its principal business and its principal place of business is 2500 Windy Ridge Parkway, Atlanta, Georgia 30339.

The name, residence or business address, principal occupation or employment of each of the executive officers and directors of CCE are set forth on Schedule A hereto.

Neither CCE nor any of the individuals identified on Schedule A hereto has, during the last five years, been convicted in a criminal proceeding or been a party to a civil proceeding of a judicial or administrative body of competent jurisdiction and as a result of such proceeding, become subject to a judgment, decree or final order enjoining future violations of, or prohibiting or mandating activities subject to, federal or state securities law or finding any violation with respect to such laws.

Item 3. Source and Amount of Funds and Other Consideration

The source of funds that were used to acquire the Options, and the funds that would be used to exercise the Options, has been, or will be, as the case may be, the general corporate funds of CCE. The cost of the Options purchased is $17,247.56; assuming all are exercised, the cost of exercise would be $24,836,487.84.

Item 4. Purpose of Transaction

On June 13, 2005, CCE purchased the Options to buy approximately 68,990,244 shares of common stock, or common stock equivalents in the form of convertible securities and warrants, from nine shareholders of Bravo. This is intended to be a first step in acquiring slightly more than 50% of Bravo's common equity on a fully diluted basis.

As part of this transaction, CCE is negotiating with the management of Bravo for master distribution rights for Bravo's products, and for the purchase of common stock directly from Bravo. The shares purchased directly from Bravo, when combined with the shares subject to the Options, would constitute a majority stake, as described above.

The exercise of the Options is dependent on the satisfactory completion of due diligence and reaching agreement on the terms of the distribution and share purchase agreements. It is anticipated that CCE's total investment would be approximately $38 million upon exercise of the Options and the purchase of common shares from Bravo.

While CCE's rights under the Option Agreements may be assigned to The Coca-Cola Company, an affiliate of CCE or of The Coca-Cola Company, or to a joint venture formed by any of them, CCE has no current intention to effect any such assignment.

CCE anticipates that the potential acquisition of all of the remaining equity securities of Bravo would occur pursuant to a definitive acquisition agreement, currently under negotiation, under which CCE or its assignee would be given the right, after December 31, 2006, to cause a merger to occur under which the shares of Bravo owned by shareholders other than CCE or its assignee would be converted into the right to receive cash.

The distribution agreement, the definitive acquisition agreement and the merger agreement are currently under negotiation, and there is no assurance that agreement will be reached with respect to any of these documents.

Item 5. Interest in Securities of the Issuer

As a result of the grant of the Options on June 13, 2005, CCE beneficially owns 68,990,244 shares of Common Stock computed in accordance with Rule 13d-3 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, which represents approximately 52.23% of the outstanding Common Stock. CCE does not beneficially own any shares other than those subject to the Options.

Item 6. Contracts, Arrangements, Understandings or Relationships with Respect to the Securities of the Issuer

The Option Agreements with the Bravo shareholders listed below give CCE the option to purchase up to 68,990,244 shares of Common Stock at an exercise price per share of $0.36. The Options will terminate upon the earliest to occur of: (1) the written mutual agreement of the parties to an Option Agreement to terminate an Option, (2) August 31, 2005, or (3) the delivery of written notice of termination of negotiations with respect to a distribution agreement for Bravo's products.

The Option Agreements, by their terms, may be exercised only if CCE, The Coca-Cola Company, or an affiliate of either of them has entered into a definitive distribution agreement and share purchase agreement, described above under Item 4.  It is the current intention that the Options would be exercised, if at all, by CCE or one of its affiliates.  The Options, if exercised, must be exercised in their entirety and all at once.

The table below lists the Bravo shareholders with whom CCE has entered into Option Agreements and the number of shares of Common Stock subject to options granted by each such shareholder and whether held in the form of Common Stock, convertible notes, convertible preferred stock or warrants.
