Coca-Cola to release soda with cane sugar after Trump pushed for it. Is it really better than high-fructose corn syrup? [View all]
Coca-Cola announced on Tuesday that it will release a new version of Coke using cane sugar later this year.
“As part of its ongoing innovation agenda, this fall in the United States, the company plans to launch an offering made with U.S. cane sugar to expand its Trademark Coca-Cola product range,” Coca-Cola said in a press release reporting its second quarter earnings. “This addition is designed to complement the company’s strong core portfolio and offer more choices across occasions and preferences.”
The announcement came days after President Trump said in a social media post that the company had agreed with him to do so.
“I have been speaking to Coca-Cola about using REAL Cane Sugar in Coke in the United States, and they have agreed to do so,” Trump wrote in a Truth Social post last week. “I’d like to thank all of those in authority at Coca-Cola. This will be a very good move by them — You’ll see. It’s just better!”
