Conagra Brands reviewing Mrs. Butterworth's brand after Aunt Jemima, Uncle Ben's announcements

to overhaul their imaging in the wake of renewed calls for racial equality, Conagra Brands announced Wednesday it has “begun a complete brand and packaging review on Mrs. Butterworth's.”

Though there have been debates over Mrs. Butterworth’s race, some have associated the shape of the brand’s syrup bottles with the offensive "Mammy" racial caricature of stereotype for Black women. “The Mrs. Butterworth's brand, including its syrup packaging, is intended to evoke the images of a loving grandmother,” Conagra Brands said in a

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.”

I never bought any of these and I probably never will so 🤷🏻‍♂️

Well whoever she is now she still looks like brown syrup and i am staking them high

Pussies

what_speed How about doing a product review, it's just sugar in syrup form.

Getting ridiculous now! Just how far is America going to have to bend over to smooch 😘⁉️

She was my favorite diabetic.

Do people realize this is not doing anything to mitigate racism? 🙄

I don’t care, my kids don’t eat that crap anyway

But she is Syrup not black😂

It will always be Ant Jammima, Misses Buttaworf and Huncle Been to me.

Stupidity running rampant now

This is why Americans are so fat!!! Just stop producing this crap all together

Will never buy their products again.

Look in Wal-Mart for rap snacks...7-11 too.

HOW YOU LOOSE YOUR TIME ANDA MONEY IN SUCH A STUPID THING, REALLY...TO MUCH

Can’t wait for the Quakers and martians to come calling.

Hey man......don't f*ck with Mrs Buttersworth, OK?

😂🤣😂

I didn’t realize people eat this shit still.

What did Mrs. Butterworth do!? Why you gotta drag her into this!?

If these brands have changed their imagery from that of slaves/servants then why the big issue. Would it not be worse if the imagery changed to white faces? Isn't that exclusion?

Just dont buy any of it again.

This isn't real syrup, its sugar, corn syrup, and maple flavoring. On a side note, a good move in a positive direction.

You are all crazy

Flap - Jack fundraisers will never be the same. 😒

I was hoping this would happen, yesterday!

Foolish pandering fucks. .

How much racist food is there currently.... The CEOs and Boards of these companies should be replaced. If they are publicly traded then shareholders should push for these changes.

Can talk about how we can celebrate Juneneeth tomorrow. Celebration of Freedom 🎉

Washington “Redskins” ...

When is bet changing their name?

I thought she was a white woman.
