Pepsi Boycott History

May 1, 2012 Update

We received many inquiries about the status of the Senomyx partner boycott. At this time Senomyx only has agreements with four companies: Ajinomoto, Firmenich, Nestlé and PepsiCo. Two of these, Ajinomoto and Firmenich are not based in the US. Firmenich does not directly sell a product to the public, but rather sells their flavor enhancers to other companies. They do not disclose who those companies are or which flavor enhancers they are using, so this is of no help to us in our boycott efforts. Ajinomoto does sell their flavor seasonings in the North American market, and these are listed on the new boycott list.

Nestles has products on the market using Senomyx and they continue to collaborate for future products. The products listed are their coffee creamers and Maggi soup and sauce products. PepsiCo is using Senomyx for future products, however they are NOT using aborted fetal cell lines in the development of those flavor enhancers. Cadbury Adams ended their agreement in December 2011 and they have brought no product to market using Senomyx. So right now, the target is Nestles. Should this change in the future we will notify the public immediately. God bless all of you for your support and effort!
