Defectors from the Grocery Manufacturers Association: the score
Politico is tracking what’s happening to the GMA. The defectors so far:
- Tyson Foods
- Unilever
- Campbell Soup Co.
- Nestlé
- Dean Foods
- Mars
The GMA has consistently and persistently lobbied against consumer-friendly measures. I guess the GMA has become too embarrassing for these corporations or too contrary to the image they want to project.
I can’t wait to see who is next. Stay tuned.
