President Trump suggested that Coca-Cola switch from high-fructose corn syrup to cane sugar for its flagship drink in the U.S., which the company has not officially confirmed. Such a change would align Coca-Cola's U.S. production with practices in other countries like Mexico and Australia. However, officials from the Corn Refiners Association opposed the switch, arguing it could threaten American jobs and farm incomes. Coca-Cola has not shared specific details but acknowledged Trump's enthusiasm for this potential change.
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, Trump wrote on his social media site. I'd like to thank all of those in authority at Coca-Cola. This will be a very good move by them. You'll see. It's just better!
Replacing high fructose corn syrup with cane sugar doesn't make sense, Corn Refiners Association President and CEO John Bode said in a statement. President Trump stands for American manufacturing jobs, American farmers, and reducing the trade deficit.
