by MarketNewsData

đź“Ś Key Points:

  • Donald Trump said on Truth Social that he’s “spoken to Coca-Cola” and that the company has agreed to use real cane sugar in U.S. Coke products.
  • Coca-Cola responded by welcoming the conversation and said it is “excited about future innovations” but did not confirm any product change.
  • The shift would make U.S. Coke more like “Mexican Coke,” which uses cane sugar and is seen by some as a “cleaner” version.
  • The announcement is linked to the “Make America Healthy Again” campaign, led by RFK Jr., targeting processed ingredients in U.S. food and beverages.
  • The Corn Refiners Association pushed back, citing possible job losses and increased sugar costs.

đź“Š Analyst Takeaway:
If Coca-Cola confirms the switch, it could be a major marketing moment — but also pose logistical and cost challenges for U.S. production.
