Jews who keep kosher are forbidden from eating certain items, including pork and shellfish. They are also barred from eating beef that is not certified kosher. During Passover, these guidelines become more stringent, as many Jews refrain from consuming grain products, taking corn syrup off the table.<\/p>\n
COCA-COLA\u2019S SUGARCANE SHIFT: STATES THAT COULD BENEFIT FROM THE BEVERAGE GIANT\u2019S LATEST MOVE<\/u><\/strong><\/p>\n In 1935, the\u00a0Coca-Cola Company<\/u>\u00a0allowed Geffen to see the ingredients of the beverage, while preserving its secret by not revealing the proportions. He found that the beverage contained two items of concern: glycerin derived from non-kosher beef tallow and corn syrup.<\/p>\n While Coke failed Geffen\u2019s initial inquiry, the company\u2019s scientists found that glycerin derived from cottonseed and coconut oil could be used without altering the soda\u2019s taste, solving one problem. After the ingredient change, Geffen gave it his seal of approval for consumption, but Coke was still forbidden during Passover. However, the company\u2019s scientists were able to replace the grain-derived ingredients with cane and beet sugars, allowing Jews to enjoy the beverage during Passover and all yearlong.<\/p>\n Cases of Coca-Cola soda are displayed at a Costco Wholesale store on April 27, 2025, in San Diego, Calif.

Every year in the weeks leading up to Passover, shelves fill with Coca-Cola products with the bright yellow caps, signifying that they are sweetened with cane sugar, not corn syrup.<\/p>\n The renewed interest in the cane sugar soda came as Coca-Cola started to expand its use of the sweetener in the U.S. beyond the seasonal product. In October 2025, Coca-Cola began rolling out cane sugar soda packaged in glass bottles. The change garnered the support of President\u00a0Donald Trump<\/u>, who said the cane sugar soda was \u201cbetter\u201d than the high-fructose corn syrup alternative. The product was introduced in select markets, though Coca-Cola has not indicated whether it plans to shift away from corn syrup entirely.<\/p>\n In this photo illustration, Coke beverages are displayed in an ice-cooler at a park on July 17, 2025, in Austin, Texas. (Brandon Bell\/Getty Images)<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n In recent years, the yellow cap bottles have attracted more attention on social media as some began comparing them to Mexican Coke, which is sweetened with cane sugar. While Mexican Coke is typically sold in glass bottles, and generally costs more than the soda produced in the U.S., the version that is available around Passover has the sweetener without the higher price tag.<\/p>\n Some social media foodies have encouraged followers to stock up on the seasonal edition of the soda because of the lower price. The posts have sparked discussions about why the cane sugar version was not available year-round. This could be due to a supply issue, as John Murphy, Coca-Cola chief financial officer,\u00a0told Bloomberg News<\/u>\u00a0that there \u201cis only a certain amount of cane sugar available in the United States.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Every spring,\u00a0Coca-Cola bottles\u00a0look a little different, sporting a bright yellow cap rather than the usual red.
