# Florida Crystals 3M to MAGA Inc [[Florida Crystals]], the sugar company owned by Florida's Fanjul family, gave **$3,000,000** to [[MAGA Inc]], [[Donald Trump]]'s super PAC, in three equal contributions across 2025 and 2026. It is the sugar-industry money on the public record behind the "sugar money" allegation in the [[MAGA vs. MAHA]] dispute. ## The record | Date | Amount | Disclosed in | |---|---|---| | 2025-01-15 | $1,000,000 | Form 3X, file 1909741 | | 2025-02-27 | $1,000,000 | Form 3X, file 1909741 | | 2026-07-23 | $1,000,000 | Form 3X, file 2009096 | | **Total** | **$3,000,000** | Recipient: MAGA Inc. (FEC **C00892471**) | The company also gave $1,000,000 on July 30, 2024 to the super PAC's predecessor committee, Make America Great Again Inc. (FEC C00825851). Its lifetime total to the two committees is $4,000,000. No other contribution of $100,000 or more from the company to a federal committee appears in the 2025–26 cycle. ## Why the third check drew attention The July 2026 contribution arrived while the White House and Health Secretary [[Robert F. Kennedy Jr.]] were at odds over food policy. The *Wall Street Journal* reported that at a July meeting, White House staff objected to a proposed federal definition of ultraprocessed food, and that the administration also blocked a letter in which Kennedy backed a petition to declare some refined carbohydrates unsafe. In November 2026, former Kennedy adviser [[Calley Means]] said that when he pushed for action on sugar, chief of staff [[Susie Wiles]] told him she needed sugar-industry money to win the midterms. Wiles denies it. ## What this page does not claim > [!note] One side of a disputed conversation > The contributions are documented. The remark attributed to Wiles is not: it is Means's account of a private exchange, and no one else has confirmed it. The White House gave its own reasons for holding back the food definition, including the risk of lawsuits against food makers and the effect on trade agreements. Nothing in the filings connects this money to that decision. ## See Also - [[MAGA vs. MAHA]] · [[Florida Crystals]] · [[MAGA Inc]] - [[Calley Means]] · [[Susie Wiles]] · [[MAHA]] - [[Reynolds American 8M to MAGA Inc]] · [[Foris DAX 35M to MAGA Inc]] - [[Super PACs]] · [[Conflict of Interest]]
