PepsiCo Halts Use of Embryonic Stem Cell Technology in Flavor Testing by Senomyx

PepsiCo has taken steps to alter its policies concerning the flavor testing company which uses embryonic stem cell derived technology for its procedures.

The result of a general boycott of Pepsi products by pro-lifers is a statement by PepsiCo’s VP of Global Public Policy, sent to COGforlife. “Senomyx will not use HEK cells or any other tissues or cell lines derived from human embryos or fetuses for research performed on behalf of PepsiCo.”

It’s OK for Pharmer to buy Pepsi products again.
