Coca-Cola Launches Cane Sugar Recipe Approved by Trump

Coca-Cola will launch a new version of its soda in the US made with real cane sugar rather than high-fructose corn syrup, a move announced following President Donald Trump's public statements claiming he persuaded the company to make the change. However, Coca-Cola clarified that this new product will be an additional offering alongside the existing flagship recipe, which will continue to use high-fructose corn syrup. The initiative aligns with Health Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr.'s campaign against artificial sweeteners and highly processed ingredients, emphasizing a push for healthier food options. While the announcement has been welcomed by some consumers, industry experts have cautioned that switching to cane sugar could disrupt supply chains and impact corn farmers economically. The company emphasized that the new cane sugar variant is part of its innovation agenda aimed at expanding consumer choices rather than a complete reformulation of its classic product. Coca-Cola expressed appreciation for President Trump's enthusiasm but has yet to provide detailed information about the product launch.
