Christian anti-abortion group says aborted fetuses are used in food taste-enhancement tests

Last April, the anti-abortion site, LifeSite News, reported that aborted fetuses are finding their way into the commercial food industry's research.

They were taking issue with Senomyx' "isolated taste receptors" program, which a group called "Children of God for Life" claims come from "human embryonic kidney cells taken from an electively aborted baby to produce those receptors." Last spring, Children of God for Life issued an action alert calling for the boycott of Pepsico, Kraft Foods, Campbell Soup, Solae and Nestlé, which the anti-abortion group alleges hire Senomyx for flavor enhancement.

Campbell Soup cut ties with Senomyx, according to the Children of God for Life. PepsiCo responded,

PepsiCo has a strong set of defined values we strive to live up to. Unfortunately, there is some misinformation being circulated related to research techniques that have been used for decades by universities, hospitals, government agencies, and private companies around the world. These claims are meant to suggest that human fetal tissue is somehow used in our research.

That is both inaccurate and something we would never do or even consider.
