GROCERY STORE PLEDGE
Our company pledges to discontinue sales/not sell any of Driscoll’s brand conventional (not certified organic) berry products, including blackberries, blueberries, raspberries, and strawberries until Driscoll’s makes a public commitment and begins taking verifiable steps to eliminating toxic synthetic pesticide use for berry production fields located within one mile of a school throughout the United States.
If your store already does not carry Driscoll’s conventional berries, you can still join the boycott and we’ll place you on the Grocery Heroes list and give you a shout out! Every store that joins is helping to raise awareness. Be a force for positive change.
After signing the pledge, you will receive a verification email. After verification, your grocery store will be added to the Grocery Heroes page.
BACKGROUND
GMO/Toxin free USA and The Campaign for Organic & Regenerative Agriculture (CORA) launched a petition demanding that Driscoll’s stop applying toxic synthetic pesticides on its production fields located within one mile of school, across the U.S., and beginning with its farms in Watsonville, California, where the family-owned company is headquartered. VIEW THE PETITION.
We are also calling for a national boycott of Driscoll’s brand conventional berries until the company takes action to stop synthetic pesticide applications near schools to protect children. VISIT THE CAMPAIGN PAGE.
Businesses, especially grocery stores, have an opportunity to play a meaningful role in creating the change that our children and affected communities deserve.
Grocers have long used their purchasing power to influence suppliers on food safety, animal welfare, and the environment. Market pressure is often the only force that changes destructive corporate behavior.
