NPR's Ari Shapiro talks with Kevin Combs of McKeany-Flavell about the U.S. sugar industry's capacity to meet demand for a new Coke drink made with U.S. cane sugar.
President Donald Trump revealed on social media last week that Coca-Cola had agreed to use real cane sugar in its product instead of high-fructose corn syrup. The company confirmed it on Tuesday during an earnings call. Coca-Cola Chairman and CEO James Quincy said "I think that it will be an enduring option for consumers."
