5. PepsiCo
The date they announced they want to leave: March 8th
On the same day as the other brands mentioned on this list, the CEO of the PepsiCo company, Ramon Laguarta, stated that they will no longer collaborate with Russia, and their products, including Mirinda and 7Up as well, won’t be shipped to the country anymore.
Even though they said that they are willing to end the partnership with Russia, they won’t stop commercializing essential things, such as milk and dairy in general, baby food, and baby formula.
The CEO stated that by doing this, they will be able to support their 20,000 Russian partners and the 40,000 agricultural workers from the country.
However, it seems like not all the people agreed with the brand’s decision. The first one who said something about it was Farryl Bertmann, a registered dietitian and senior lecturer in the nutrition and food sciences department at the University of Vermont, who stated that all these decisions are going to affect the Russian population.
Even though the civilians have many food resources, this might create some big problems for the citizen population.
