No word on soda offerings, but worth noting that in Europe and several other countries: Coca Cola & PepsiCo affiliated soft drinks contain pure cane sugar instead of HFCS.

Even before Trump, sugar has had tariifs in the U.S., so imported sugar is taxed, but (until now) imported soda from Mexico, not so much, which is a main reason why Mexican Coke usually has real sugar.

The U.S. has lots of corn, and incentives to use it. HCFS is liquid, which makes mixing and transporting more straightforward.

That means no more Heinz ketchup, notorious for using high fructose corn syrup.. Heinz ingredients:

tomato concentrate from red ripe tomatoes, distilled vinegar, high fructose corn syrup, corn syrup, salt, spice, onion powder, and natural flavoring,

Great, John Kerry and his trophy wife are sad...

Trader Joe’s’ ketchup actually tastes just as good with no high fructose corn syrup.

We use very few processed foods, primarily because of all the added artificial ingredients. My two grandkids like making our own gummies

In South Africa and Mexico too.

The cokes in South Africa are MUCH better than the garbage they sell here.

When reading the headline, I thought the worse outcome. I was afraid they were going to change the ingredients in their spread used in their hamburgers since 1948 and use less tomato and onion to reduce costs.

I’ve never seen one ‘in the wild’ so I looked up their locations. Apparently they are only in a few mountain and pacific time zone locations, mostly in the south.

My understanding is that the Coca-Cola Co uses HFCS only in North America...Eeverywhere else in the world, it’s real sugar.,

That is true throughout Latin America.

In-N-Out Burger makes major ingredient changes to drinks and popular condiment

OK, great. The best fast food burger restaurant in America gets a little better. Now just figure out how to make edible french fries. Everything else about In N Out is top notch - the fries have been a disappointment since I started eating there in college.

I buy Mexicoke at Costco. Coke in glass bottles with cane sugar instead of HFCS. I don’t drink them (well, once in a blue moon), but keep them around for others. I mostly drink water or unsweetened iced tea.
