Coca-Cola changes recipe from corn syrup to cane sugar in sweet victory for Donald Trump
Coca-Cola has confirmed it is changing the recipe for its signature fizzy drink after an intervention by Donald Trump.
The drinks giant will launch a Coca-Cola in the US this autumn that will be made with real cane sugar rather than high-fructose corn syrup.
Food firms have scrambled to change ingredients and include healthier substitutes amid Health Secretary Robert Kennedy’s Make America Healthy Again campaign.
The US President has also pushed for the change, declaring that Coke made with sugar is ‘just better’. In a post on his Truth Social platform last week, he said the company had agreed to make the changes.
‘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!’ Trump wrote.
Coca-Cola confirmed the move yesterday as it revealed revenues rose 2.5 per cent to £9.4billion in the three months to June 27.
