Overview

  • In its second-quarter earnings, Coca-Cola confirmed it will introduce a US-sourced cane sugar formula to its flagship soda lineup.
  • The recipe will use American cane sugar, aligning the US beverage with sucrose-based versions long sold in Europe and Mexico.
  • The company has not provided specifics on distribution, pricing or market rollout beyond acknowledging the autumn release window.
  • President Trump publicly urged the switch on Truth Social on July 16 and Coca-Cola expressed gratitude for his advocacy.
  • Clinical studies from 2022 found minimal differences between high-fructose corn syrup and cane sugar in weight gain and heart health, though HFCS consumption was linked to elevated inflammation markers.
