Last week, dozens of pro-life groups called for a boycott of Pepsi because of information that came to light in March showing biotech company Senomyx was found to be testing their food additives using fetal cells from abortions. Senomyx ignored a letter from the pro-life group Children of God for Life, which complained about its practices. Full Story Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Still, this is disgusting and I, personally, will not buy Pepsi products again until I read that this practice has been abandoned. It makes me wonder what other companies are doing this.

I appreciate the clarification. It makes me wonder what other companies are doing this. The article has a link to another one about the company Pepsi gets this from, Senomyx, and in there it states: "They included food giants PepsiCo, Kraft Foods, Campbell Soup, Solae and Nestlé." At the bottom: "UPDATE: Within hours of its press statement to LifeNews.com, the pro-life group received notice from Campbell Soup that the company has severed its ties with Senomyx. Juli Mandel Sloves, Senior Manager of Nutrition & Wellness Communications at Campbell Soup Company, told Vinnedge, “We are no longer in partnership with Senomyx. This fact was discussed during the Senomyx conference call with its investors earlier this month.” " Read the full article here There are also links to where you can write letters.
