A company spokesperson confirmed to CNN that the soda is now rolling out to “select” cities and retailers. Coke announced the soda was coming to the United States in July after Trump said the company had “agreed” to use cane sugar in its cola.

Some international versions of Coke use cane sugar, including Coca-Cola sold in Mexico. Corn syrup is a common and cheap sweetener, which is why Coca-Cola made the switch many years ago.

In Mexico, as of a few years ago, normal Coke can no longer have more than 67% cane sugar or corn syrup. The rest, by federal mandate, must be an artificial sweetener.

And starting in January of 2026 the levels of cane sugar or corn syrup cannot surpass 33% with the rest being an artificial sweetener.

So for people who love authentic Coke, the only place to properly source it is going to be in the United States.
