Butterworth's, joins a growing list of companies that committed to revamping their packaging images after questions about racist imagery. Aunt Jemima, Uncle Ben's and Cream of Wheat, whose brands depict Black cooks in a reference to America's past, in recent weeks also announced plans to initiate a brand review.
Aunt Jemima, the pancake and syrup company owned by PepsiCo , was the first to grab headlines when it acknowledged its name and packaging was derived from racist mammy caricatures of Black women. The brand reviews were announced amid a wave of global protests over the killings of Black people in recent months, particularly George Floyd, Ahmaud Arbery and Breonna Taylor.
And that's really what this Mrs. Butterworth's review is all about. As protesters continue to march, corporate America has made a range of promises to improve their diversity numbers and better serve communities that have historically been oppressed.
The demonstrations have caught the attention of lawmakers as well, who have made their own promises to address relations with Black communities and police misconduct. Sector Food Products. Sales or Revenue Industry Consumer Goods. Description Conagra Brands Inc.
