PETA to Post Malone: Help Stop Gruesome Oreo Maker’s Experiments on Animals

Ahead of Post Malone’s new Taste Twist Oreos hitting shelves on February 3, PETA rushed a letter today to the Grammy Award nominee asking him to use his influence with the company to urge Oreo’s maker, Mondelēz International, to stop using animals in invasive and deadly experiments that don’t advance human health.

PETA points out that Mondelēz—which makes popular snacks such as Ritz Crackers and Triscuit, in addition to Oreo—paid experimenters to force-feed mice human feces, purposely damaged their gut health with diets high in saturated fat, repeatedly took their blood, and killed and dissected them, among other cruelties. PETA is calling on Mondelēz to commit to PETA’s new initiative, “Eat Without Experiments.”

“It’s psycho for a company that sells cookies and crackers to torment animals in laboratories,” says PETA Senior Vice President Lisa Lange. “PETA is calling on Post Malone to urge Mondelēz to end its twisted and deadly experiments and commit to leaving animals in peace.”

Eat Without Experiments—a revolutionary new program and first-of-its-kind online database from PETA—pulls back the curtain on tests on animals, allowing consumers to see which companies torment animals in laboratories to sell their products and which don’t, as well as allowing visitors to send e-mails and take action to urge Mondelēz to stop testing on animals.

PETA—whose motto reads, in part, that “animals are not ours to experiment on”—points out that Every Animal Is Someone and offers free Empathy Kits for people who need a lesson in kindness. For more information, please visit PETA.org or follow PETA on X, Facebook, or Instagram.
