Avoiding Foods, Beverages and Vaccines Containing Aborted Fetal Cells
As recently as May, Pepsi ignored concerns and criticism from dozens of pro-life groups and tens of thousands of pro-life people who voiced their
opposition to PepsiCo contracting with biotech company Senomyx even after it was found to be testing their food additives using fetal cells from
abortions.
"The company's key flavor programs focus on the discovery and development of savory, sweet and salt flavor ingredients that are intended to allow
for the reduction of MSG, sugar and salt in food and beverage products," the Senomyx web site says. "Using isolated human taste receptors, we
created proprietary taste receptor-based assay systems that provide a biochemical or electronic readout when a flavor ingredient interacts with the
receptor."
Debi Vinnedge, of the pro-life group Children of God for Life, explained,
"What they don't tell the public is that they are using HEK 293 -- human embryonic kidney cells taken from an electively aborted baby to produce
those receptors. They could have easily chosen animal, insect, or other morally obtained human cells expressing the G protein for taste
receptors."
In August 2010, PepsiCo entered into a four-year agreement with Senomyx for the development of artificial high-potency sweeteners for PepsiCo
beverages. Under the contract, PepsiCo is paying $30 million to Senomyx for the research and future royalties on PepsiCo products sold using Senomyx
technology. When the prolife group wrote both companies requesting they use one of several non-objectionable, viable cell lines listed in their
patents, Senomyx did not respond. PepsiCo did reply however and insisted that its use of the research from Senomyx would produce "great tasting,
lower-calorie beverages."
