PETA Persuades Global Meat Company and Sugar Producer to Ban Animal Tests

After discussions with PETA, global meat manufacturer NH Foods and international sugar company Ensuiko Sugar Refining Co., Ltd., both agreed to stop conducting and funding animal experiments used to make dubious health claims about their products. Both companies had previously conducted experiments in which mice were fed ingredients, their was blood taken, and then they were killed and dissected. In addition to confirming this good news to PETA, Ensuiko Sugar posted the new policy on its website. NH Foods currently has an animal-testing contract through 2020, but it confirmed to PETA that once that contract ends, it will no longer conduct or fund experiments on animals unless required to do so by law.
