Coca-Cola has begun rolling out its new cane sugar soda after President Donald Trump publicly pushed the company to move away from using high-fructose corn syrup earlier this year.
The Atlanta-headquartered company has begun introducing 12-ounce single-serve glass bottles of its classic soda made with U.S. cane sugar in "select U.S. markets," it confirmed in an email to USA TODAY. "This launch reflects our ongoing commitment to giving people more ways to enjoy the beverages they love," Coca-Cola said in a statement.
Coca-Cola Company's Chief Financial Officer John Murphy said during an interview with Bloomberg on Tuesday, Oct. 21, that supply chain challenges are limiting the rollout.

"It’s going to be a measured roll-out,” Murphy told Bloomberg. “There is only a certain amount of cane sugar available in the United States.”
