Several people asked for a copy of the grocery store brands cheat sheet I put together so that I can avoid Kraft, PepsiCo, and Nestle products*.
Here's a pdf that you can download. I realized that I didn't double check to be sure that it included Cadbury (owned by Kraft now) which has quite a few products of its own to watch out for. Obviously anything with Cadbury in the name, but also unexpected products like Trident and Chiclets are made by them.
Also, I removed most of the brands that are available only in foreign countries and a couple of things like power drinks that I never use. Just FYI.
I'll do that on Monday and update it if need be.
As well as boycotting, be sure that you write or email the companies directly to express your concern about Senomyx's flavor program and their participation. Also it would be nice to contact Campbells' and Solae to let them know you appreciate their pulling out of Senomyx' program once they knew the full truth.

What a long list! Thank you...
ReplyDeleteThank you very much for providing this list! I shared the info from your previous posts with friends, and now I'll direct them here for the list. They were as appalled as I was to hear of this program.

Thank you for posting this. Is there any way to find out who makes various store brands?
ReplyDeleteTerentia ... I'd advise checking Wikipedia (it is amazing what info is contained therein or checking with the store itself). :-)
ReplyDeleteNissa ... oooo, I LOVE Lina Lamont and can't wait to check out the award! Thank you! :-)

ReplyDeleteThanks for the list. I knew about Pepsi and Nestle but not Kraft. This is just so sick!!!
ReplyDeleteThanks for putting this list together!
ReplyDeleteWow! Had NO idea they (anyone) thought it was a good idea to use embryo cells to test FLAVOR of all things. Guess dead babies are just commodities for commerce to them -- UGH!--- How far society's thinking has gone down the flusher - can you imagine 100 years ago, even 50 years ago or LESS..........any but a VERY few thinking of this as a good idea....Brought to you by the crooked judges and crooked judgment of Roe V. Wade!! Going to say the Divine Mercy chaplet for an end to this - and of course to spread the sad news - Thanks for getting the word out!! Sugarcat3 here, like your blog.
