Mrs. Butterworth’s syrup says it will review branding due to racial bias concerns | |
2020-06-19 | |
"The Mrs. Butterworth’s brand, including its syrup packaging, is intended to evoke the images of a loving grandmother," the company said in a news release Wednesday. "We stand in solidarity with our Black and Brown communities and we can see that our packaging may be interpreted in a way that is wholly inconsistent with our values." Conagra Brands said it has "begun a complete brand and packaging review on Mrs. Butterworth’s." "It’s heartbreaking and unacceptable that racism and racial injustices exist around the world," the company said. "We will be part of the solution. Let’s work together to progress toward change." | |

#6 Yes black products should represent the history of famine in Africa and not actually have anything in them. Africans are culturally appropriating the west when they have sufficient food. |
