Tue, 22 Jul 2025 Coca-Cola will roll out cane sugar Coke in US after Trump push

The move was previewed by President Donald Trump last week in a social media post - "It's just better!".

* Coca-Cola plans to introduce a new Coke sweetened with cane sugar to its existing line-up in the US.
* The move confirms a plan previously mentioned by President Donald Trump, who had expressed his support for using real cane sugar instead of corn syrup.
* In many parts of the world, Coca-Cola already uses regular sugar to sweeten its signature drink, but in the US it has typically used corn syrup due to its lower cost.
* The company's decision is seen as a response to consumer preferences and concerns about the health risks associated with corn syrup.
* Trump had previously spoken to Coca-Cola's boss about using cane sugar and had also put billionaire sugar farmer Jose Fanjul on the phone to discuss the matter.
* The new Coke product will be launched in autumn and will complement the company's existing line-up, offering more choices to customers.
