Big news for conscious consumers: Solely, the La Jolla-based fruit snack company, has officially joined PETA’s “Eat Without Experiments” program—making it easier for shoppers to support brands that never test on animals.
Known for its clean, organic snacks, Solely is doubling down on its commitment to cruelty-free practices, earning high praise from PETA for leading the way in ethical food production.
Solely has always maintained an animal-friendly approach, but by signing PETA’s pledge, the company is making its stance public and permanent. The “Eat Without Experiments” website features a database of companies categorized by their animal testing policies, allowing shoppers to make informed choices.
Visitors to the site can also take action by urging Mondelēz International—the parent company of Oreo, Cadbury, and Honey Maid—to end animal testing. PETA has exposed Mondelēz for force-feeding human feces to mice and subjecting rats to cruel experiments, even though U.S., EU, and Canadian regulations require human studies—not animal tests—to validate food health claims.
“Solely is setting an industry example by refusing to participate in unnecessary and outdated animal tests,” said PETA Vice President Shalin Gala. “Now, we’re calling on Oreo-maker Mondelēz International to follow suit and eliminate cruel animal experiments.”
Solely joins a growing list of brands—including Amy’s Kitchen, Heineken, Tofurky, Dr. Praeger’s Sensible Foods, and Unilever—that have pledged never to test on animals.
PETA, whose motto states that “animals are not ours to experiment on,” continues to advocate for ethical treatment and offers free Empathy Kits for those looking to learn more about kindness toward animals.
