Topline
Coca-Cola, one of the country’s largest companies, has said it will launch a new version of its signature product sweetened with cane sugar rather than corn syrup, after President Donald Trump pushed for the change amid a war on artificial ingredients and dyes waged by his Health and Human Services Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr.
Bottles of Coca Cola are displayed on April 24, 2023 in San Anselmo, California.
Key Facts
Coca-Cola said in its earnings release on Tuesday morning it will launch a version of the drink with cane sugar—as is already used in its products in Mexico and some European countries—later this fall.
Coke said the additional production “is designed to complement the company’s strong core portfolio and offer more choices across occasions and preferences.”
