Donald Trump said on Wednesday that Coca-Cola had agreed to use cane sugar in its beverages in the United States after his discussions with the company.
I have been speaking to Coca-Cola about using REAL Cane Sugar in Coke in the United States, and they have agreed to do so. Id like to thank all of those in authority at Coca-Cola, Trump said in a post on Truth Social.
Coca-Cola produced for the US market is typically sweetened with corn syrup, while the company uses cane sugar in some other countries.
The Trump administrations Make America Healthy Again MAHA initiative, named for the social movement aligned with Health Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr, has pushed food companies to alter their formulations to remove ingredients like artificial dyes.
Kennedy has also been critical of the amount of sugar consumed in the American diet and has said that updated dietary guidelines released this summer will advise Americans to eat whole food.
