Oreo: Stop Cruel Tests on Animals

Before you reach for a package of Oreos, you should know this: PETA has found out that Mondelēz International, the maker of Oreos, paid experimenters to force-feed human poop to mice before killing them. 🤢

We wish it wasn’t true. But it is.

After hearing from PETA in 2018, Mondelēz set up a limited ban on animal testing for its products and ingredients. However, it left a big loophole: to “only engage in Animal Testing … when it is needed to advance fundamental knowledge in nutritional science.” Meanwhile, it tries to mislead the public by saying that it “do[es] not test [its] products on animals.” 🤦

Guess what? Testing on animals is never needed to advance our knowledge of science. There are so many humane methods of experimentation that are legit relevant to human health. PETA discovered the Oreo maker’s pointless “nutritional science” experiments on animals include tormenting countless animals by:

• Force-feeding human poop and a diet that’s high in saturated fat to mice, then killing them.

• Force-feeding human poop to mice, feeding them a chemical and a diet that’s high in saturated fat, then killing and dissecting them.

• Force-feeding human poop and glass beads to mice and feeding them a diet high in saturated fat.

• Feeding rats a mixture of chips, crackers, and candies, force-feeding them glucose, and taking their blood over and over.

Mice are smart, social animals who can recognize their names and respond when called, love their fams, and enjoy sleeping curled up with each other—they def don’t deserve to suffer and die in these gruesome experiments. 🐭 There’s only one way Mondelēz International can stop the public backlash it’s receiving over these experiments: Join PETA’s revolutionary Eat Without Experiments program, which makes it easy to see which food and beverage companies do or don’t test on animals. We won’t rest until Mondelēz International agrees to stop its experiments on mice and other animals. 💪

Please urge Mondelēz International, maker of Oreo, to stop testing on animals and join PETA’s Eat Without Experiments program.
