The multinational Tyson Foods announced it will stop using high-fructose corn syrup in part of its product line, marking a significant shift in the U.S. food industry. The company's promise is part of the Trump administration's push to reduce the use of certain questionable ingredients in processed foods and promote healthier diets among the population.

High-fructose corn syrup has been widely used by the industry for decades as a cheap and versatile sweetener, found in breads, sausages, beverages, and prepared foods. However, several studies have linked it to increased obesity, type 2 diabetes, and cardiovascular disease, generating pressure from both consumers and health organizations to limit its use.

Tyson explained that the measure will be implemented gradually, starting with processed meat products such as nuggets, sausages, and prepared dressings. The company stated that it seeks to offer "cleaner" and more transparent alternatives, using natural sweeteners such as cane sugar or honey, with the intention of regaining the trust of consumers who are increasingly conscious of nutritional quality.

The announcement also responds to a broader trend within the food industry: giants such as PepsiCo and Kellogg's have already made similar commitments, adapting to a market demanding clearer labels, fewer artificial additives, and greater corporate responsibility.

Nutrition experts have received the news with caution. While they welcome the elimination of high-fructose corn syrup, they warn that the real challenge lies in reducing overall consumption of added sugars and promoting more balanced eating habits.

With this decision, Tyson Foods not only aligns itself with public health policies promoted from Washington, but also joins the competition to lead a cultural shift in the way Americans consume and perceive processed foods.
