Generally for products which are developed around a process or formula companies do not always pursue patents. They just keep the process or formula a secret.

In the case of Coca Cola their original formula was patented in 1893. When it changed a patent was not pursued.

For products where performance characteristics can be discovered through measurement or observation patents offer finite though defeatable protection.And of course some competitors just clone products and don't care about ip.

Companies rely on evolutionary patents to try to retain some level of ip.
