Kraft Reveals Revamped Mac and Cheese, 50M Boxes Later

The sweetener isn't part of the Coca-Cola formula (or more specifically, isn't part of the Coca-Cola concentrate). Coca-Cola provides unsweetened concentrate to independent bottlers, and the bottlers add high fructose corn syrup, sugar, or both during the bottling process. Some US Coca-Cola bottlers still only use sugar for sweetener.

Ahh, that's interesting. I remember Coke (KO) bought out the US distribution/bottling from Coca Cola Enterprises (CCE) in 2010 but Wikipedia says 5-10% of US Coke is still bottled by a handful of independent bottlers.

Allegedly, Kosher For Passover Coke (which should be available soon if not already) uses sugar.

Yes, Coke that's kosher for Passover can't contain grain, including corn, so they use sugar.

Also, so called Mexican Coke is made with sugar. Though not necessarily all Coke sold in Mexico.

No, but the formula needs to be adjusted for different sweeteners in order to keep the same final flavor.
