Actually, I believe its Kosher for Passover, which means something different than 'the way you slit a cow' - - first, why not look it up on Google?

Secondly, corn, being a grain, is not Kosher for Passover. Therefore, Corn Syrup (or more precisely High Fructose Corn Syrup) would be not Kosher for Passover.

Sugar is therefore a Kosher for Passover option, as sugar is not a grain.

So that's how the hell sugar is kosher.

Nice phrasing by the way. Shows respect for other people's beliefs and all that!

Ok...I had to go to my local taqueria to try this stuff before I bought a whole case. Honestly I can't taste the difference between this cane sugar coke and the HFCS stuff. The only thing I notice right now is the carne asada gas coming up all afternoon from drinking 2 cokes!

I don't drink coke, but as far as I am aware, Coke has a kosher symbol on it year-round, and, therefore HFCS is just as Kosher as Sugar. Evidently, however, as the above poster explained, HCFS is not kosher for passover, so real sugar, which is more expensive, is used instead.

In Indianapolis area, haven't seen this at costco there.......However Jones is pretty good stuff.

I will go out of my way and pay extra to get Coke made with real cane sugar and packaged in glass bottles. I CAN tell the difference. If you can't, good for you. Save your money and buy the el cheapo store brand cola. I happen to like real Coke better. Thanks OP I will definitely look in Costco for it. I wasn't aware of the Passover Coke formula. Thanks for that info also.

Since HFCS triggers my allergies and other sugars do not, for me there is a huge difference.

You know that was the way Coke was always made before the farm subsidies made corn syrup much less expensive than sugar (which is subsidized also). It was always a $$ decision by Coke, not a taste decision.

Check out your favorite jam or jelly. It is all made with corn syrup now, except the Bonne Maman line of preserves which from France.

Just got back from my local Costco in Atlanta and NO Mexican Coke. I had the store manager look it up and she could not even find it in the system. It must be a west coast thing. If possible, someone provide the item number found on your costco receipt.

If you are allergic to corn syrup like me, I've had good success finding products at Trader Joes which are made with cane sugar (jellies, jams, salad dressings, catsup, sauces, soda, candy, etc.) And the prices are competitive with the corn syrup counter part.

It sure will be interesting to see what the impact of corn based fuels will have on usage of corn syrup in our food supply.

One comment on Passover Coke: In Atlanta, it's distributed only in 2 litre bottles and has a yellow cap. For some odd reason, Coca Cola does not change out the label. The label still says corn syrup in the ingredients, but after calling, I was assured no corn syrup is used. The cap does not list the ingredients, but does contain the circled "U" with a "p" representing that it is in fact kosher for passover.

Living in Atlanta (home of Coca Cola), I've made multiple calls to Coca Cola requesting the cane sugar original formula as an alternative. I'd be willing to pay a premium. Maybe if enough people call and request Coca Cola will consider our request.
