Overview

  • Chief Executive James Quincey said the new cane sugar-sweetened formula will hit U.S. shelves next autumn as an addition to the existing product lineup.
  • President Trump posted on Truth Social last week that Coca-Cola had agreed to use real cane sugar and praised its flavor over the high-fructose corn syrup version.
  • The company confirmed that its flagship recipe containing high-fructose corn syrup will remain unchanged and that the new variant is not replacing any current offerings.
  • The administration’s “Make America Healthy Again” campaign, led by Health Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr., has pressured food companies to reduce high-fructose corn syrup in processed foods.
  • Mexican-imported Coca-Cola made with cane sugar is already available at a premium in select U.S. markets, indicating consumer appetite for sucrose-sweetened options.
