(Natural News) The Obama Administration has given its blessing to Pepsi to continue utilizing the services of a company that produces flavor chemicals for the beverage giant using aborted human fetal tissue. Life Site News.com reports that the Security and Exchange Commission (S.E.C.) has decided that Pepsi's arrangement with San Diego, Cal.-based Senomyx, which produces flavor enhancing chemicals for Pepsi using human embryonic kidney tissue, simply constitutes "ordinary business operations.”

The issue began in 2011 when the non-profit group Children of God for Life (C.G.L.) first broke the news about Pepsi's alliance with Senomyx, which led to massive outcry and a worldwide boycott of Pepsi products. At that time, it was revealed that Pepsi had many other options at its disposal to produce flavor chemicals, which is what its competitors do, but had instead chosen to continue using aborted fetal cells -- or as Senomyx deceptively puts it, "isolated human taste receptors"
