Pallini, a family-owned distillery and one of the oldest companies in Rome, receives kudos from PETA today for signing on to a groundbreaking new Eat Without Experiments program that helps shoppers identify food and beverage companies that don’t test on animals.

The Eat Without Experiments website features a database of food and beverage companies categorized by their policies on animal experimentation—from those that test on animals to those, such as Pallini, that have signed PETA’s pledge for no animal testing.

“Pallini’s statement of assurance will give it a leg up with consumers who want to support businesses that do not test on animals,” says PETA Vice President Shalin Gala. “PETA thanks Pallini for making it easier for consumers to make compassionate choices and urges other food companies that fund cruel and useless tests on animals to take note.”

Customers spend money according to what a company represents. According to global market research, companies that don’t align with customer beliefs pay the price, because 42 percent of consumers walk away, and one in five never return. A survey of 30,000 consumers found that 74 percent crave greater transparency regarding companies’ stances on important issues such as animal testing. Companies signing PETA’s pro-animal pledge forward their brands in the minds of a new wave of ethics-conscious consumers.

Pallini is one of many companies—including Ferrero International, Bacardi Limited, Amy’s Kitchen, Heineken, and Unilever—that have already signed PETA’s Eat Without Experiments pledge.

PETA – whose motto reads, in part, that “animals are not ours to experiment on or abuse in any other way” – points out that Every Animal Is Someone and offers free Empathy Kits. For more information, please visit PETA.org.uk or follow PETA on Twitter, Facebook, orInstagram.
