Trump Says Coca-Cola to Ditch Corn Syrup for Cane Sugar in US Production
President Donald Trump announced that Coca-Cola has agreed to switch to using real cane sugar in its US beverages, ending its long-standing use of high-fructose corn syrup (HFCS).
The move comes amid criticism of HFCS from Health Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. and is seen as a nod to growing consumer demand for more natural ingredients.
While Coca-Cola has not officially confirmed the transition, the company hinted at upcoming product innovations.
The change may stir political tensions in the Corn Belt, a key Trump support base.
