Aunt Jemima and Uncle Ben's Brand Retirement

Quaker Oats, a subsidiary of Pepsi, announced the retirement of the 130-year-old Aunt Jemima brand, citing its origins in racial stereotypes and the antebellum plantation era. The decision follows a New York Times article by Dr. Riche Richardson calling for the removal of the image. Other brands including Uncle Ben's rice and Haribo's blackface-shaped licorice are also facing similar pressure to remove racially insensitive iconography.
