Trump announces the recipe change at Coca-Cola
In the United States, Coca-Cola is sweetened, unlike in other countries, with maize syrup. According to Donald Trump, that should change. However, the group is initially covered.
According to US President Donald Trump, Coca-Cola is also to be produced in the USA with sweet sugar cane instead of just corn syrup. He spoke to the company about it and those responsible had agreed, Trump wrote to the Truth Social online platform.
Among other things, it remained unclear whether sugar cane could completely replace the corn syrup-or the two sweeteners will exist side by side in the US market. The Coca-Cola Group only said that Trump’s “enthusiasm” for the brand-and that “more details on new innovative offers within the Coca-Cola product range” would soon exist. In the USA you can buy Mexican Coca-Cola with sugar cane.
Sugar cane instead of coca-cola instead of corn syrup?
In US production, sugar-containing Coca-Cola-drinks, unlike in other countries, have been sweetened with corn syrup with high fructose content since the 1980s. The syrup is cheaper, sweeter and longer durable than other types of sugar. Among other things, he is criticized by Trump’s Minister of Health Robert F. Kennedy Jr..
Trump himself is known as a drinker sugar -free Diet Coke with sweeteners. Nevertheless, he wrote at Truth Social that everyone would see that Coca-Cola with sugar made of sugar cane was “just better”.
The share of a large producer of the corn syrup with a high fructose content, the Archer-Daniels-Midland Company, fell by around six percent in the post-excessive US trade according to Trump’s announcement.
