  • On Tuesday, Coca-Cola announced a cane sugar–sweetened Coke for the U.S. this fall, following pressure from President Donald Trump and Robert F. Kennedy Jr.

  • The market reaction was swift as Archer-Daniels-Midland and Ingredion shares slid, with 6% and 7% declines respectively.
  • Supply chain analysts caution about pricier imports, Bloomberg warns of potential supply-chain strain, and the U.S. may need to import more expensive sweetener from Mexico and Brazil.
