Go Max Go Foods, a company that produces vegan versions of classic candy bars, 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.
Go Max Go 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.
“Go Max Go’s statement of assurance will give it a leg up with caring consumers who want to support transparent, eco-and-animal-friendly businesses,” says PETA Vice President Shalin Gala. “PETA now calls on Oreo-maker Mondelēz International to take inspiration from this conscientious company and end cruel and deadly tests on animals.”
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.
Visitors to the Eat Without Experiments website can take action urging Oreo-maker Mondelēz International—which also owns Cadbury, Honey Maid, and several other well-known brands—to stop tormenting and killing animals in tests that do not apply to human health. Mondelēz misleads consumers by claiming it doesn’t test its products on animals, but neglects to say that it does fund basic and deadly “nutritional science” experiments on animals, which aren’t required by any regulatory agencies.
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.
