US President Donald Trump announced that Coca-Cola will return to using real cane sugar in its namesake soda sold in the US, following his discussions with the company.
“I have been speaking to Coca-Cola about using real Cane Sugar in Coke… and they have agreed,” he posted on Truth Social, according to Xinhua.
Coca-Cola confirmed the decision, adding that more product updates will follow soon. The company switched to high-fructose corn syrup in the 1980s to cut costs.
The move comes amid rising health concerns over artificial sweeteners. Coca-Cola already sells a cane sugar version known as “Mexican Coke”, Xinhua reported.
