CHICAGO, June 17, 2020 /PRNewswire/ -- Conagra
Brands, Inc. (NYSE: CAG) today announced the following statement on
its Mrs. Butterworth's food brand:
The Mrs. Butterworth's brand, including its syrup packaging, is
intended to evoke the images of a loving grandmother. 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.
We understand that our actions help play an important role in
eliminating racial bias and as a result, we have 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. We will be part of the solution.
Let's work together to progress toward change.
