Aunt Jemima’s New Name Is Causing Quite The Controversy

Last summer, in response to the Black Lives Matter protests, PepsiCo made a significant decision to rename its pancake mix and syrup brand,
Aunt Jemima, due to its deeply rooted racist associations. They’ve now revealed the replacement name, Pearl Milling Company, paying homage to the original company established in 1888. The updated packaging, featuring the familiar red, yellow, and white colors, will be available in stores by June 2021, without the offensive image of Aunt Jemima.
