While Oreo cookies have long been considered a vegan-friendly indulgence, recent revelations have cast a shadow over their cruelty-free reputation. PETA (People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals) has exposed that Mondelēz International, the parent company of Oreo, has been involved in disturbing animal testing practices.

In a shocking disclosure, PETA revealed that Mondelēz International funded experiments where mice were force-fed human feces. These tests were part of the company's efforts to support its "healthy snacking" agenda. The experiments involved feeding mice a diet high in saturated fats, administering chemicals, and ultimately killing and dissecting the animals to observe the effects. Such practices have been widely criticized for their cruelty and questionable relevance to human health outcomes.

These revelations have significant implications for consumers who prioritize ethical considerations in their purchasing decisions. While the ingredients in Oreo cookies may be free from animal products, the company's involvement in such inhumane testing practices contradicts the principles of cruelty-free consumption. This has led to a reevaluation of what it truly means for a product to be considered "cruelty-free."

Vyakti India's Commitment to Ethical Practices

In contrast to companies like Mondelēz International, Vyakti India is dedicated to producing sustainable and cruelty-free products.

As consumers become more aware of the ethical implications of their purchases, there is a growing demand for transparency and responsibility from brands. Choosing products from companies that align with humane and sustainable practices, like Vyakti India, empowers consumers to make a positive impact on the world.
