US EditionTrump Says Coca-Cola Will Use Cane Sugar in US Production of Coke
UNITED STATES, JUL 16 – The switch to cane sugar supports the administration's health initiative and could impact corn farmers, with Coca-Cola yet to confirm the timeline, officials said.
- On Wednesday, President Donald Trump announced that following his conversations with the company, Coca-Cola will switch to using genuine cane sugar in their Coke produced for the U.S. market.
- Since 1984, Coca-Cola in the U.S. has primarily used high-fructose corn syrup as a sweetener, influenced by government policies that made corn-based sweeteners more affordable than cane sugar.
- The shift to cane sugar would begin gradually, starting with limited editions, while Coca-Cola already uses cane sugar in some niche products like Mexican Coke and certain teas.
- Trump announced that he has been in discussions with Coca-Cola about incorporating genuine cane sugar into their soft drinks sold in the U.S., and that the company has agreed to make this change. Political analyst Ian Jaeger described this news as a significant development.
- The move aligns with the Trump administration’s Make America Healthy Again initiative but could raise costs and challenge Coca-Cola’s plastic and aluminum packaging sustainability goals.
