PepsiCo Vegetarian CEO Indra Nooyi Says Colas, Chips Aren’t To Blame For Obesity
Written by Vegetarian Star on April 28th, 2010 in Business, Food & Drink, Nutrition-Health-Fitness.
PepsiCo’s CEO Indra Nooyi is vegetarian.
So is the fact that she runs a company known for its sugar high and salty good times an oxymoron?
Nooyi told CNN’s Money that ultimately consumers have the responsibility to know when enough is enough and if they all exercised, obesity wouldn’t exist.
“If I look at our portfolio, I think you can classify them into three groups: “fun-for-you foods” like Pepsi, Doritos, Lays, and Mountain Dew, “better-for-you” products like Diet Pepsi, PepsiMax, Baked Lays, Sobi Life Water, Propel, all of these products, and “good-for-you” products like Quaker, Tropicana, Naked Juice, Gatorade,” Nooyi said.
So guess the idea is lay off the fun-for-you foods and devour the good-for-you ones.
Now, if only the vending machines would stock more oatmeal and Naked Juice.
Still, you have to give PepsiCo credit for making a huge change to its products seven years ago without adding the costs to consumers when it banned all trans fat.
Maybe in a few years we’ll see sodas sweetened with the less addictive cane sugar instead of high fructose corn syrup.

RE: Unsafe Food Product
Dear Sir,
Regretfully, this is to inform you that I bought a packet of (Lay’s- India’s Magic Masala ) potato chips on 5th January, 2013 .The details are as following Gram- 31g , Batch No-N 310A, MFD date : 4 Dec – 12 . I was surprised when my son opened the packet to eat and found a thread ( approx 8” ) with coating of masala stuck with pieces of chips.
I had also informed to customer care, Asst Manager & CEO PA, but till date there is no response. The company is selling Defective and unsafe products in the market.
The company is not at all bothered for these type of complains as it has become an MNC.
It is not about Rs.15 packet, it is about the brand Frito Lays(MNC), and how can such a big company like Lays can sell unsafe products in the market before proper quality check ?.
PepsiCo Only Display the Quality Standards for the consumers Not fullfill :-HACCP (Hazard Analysis and Critical Control Point).Certification by TQCSI (Australia), which confirms that products are manufactured in a food safety environment and the manufacturing process has adequate controls to track products. American Institute of Baking (USA), one of the best auditing bodies for confirming process and product safety. Our Plants are ISO 14000 certified, which confirms that the manufacturing process ensures environmental safety. Our plants are also certified to ensure that the safety of products, processes, environment and people is maintained at a very high level. This certification is issued by OHSAS 18001 (Occupational Health and Safety Assessment Series), USA.
The company A.m offered me Rs 15/-in return to buy the packet to close the matter but I refused. How can a person offer me Rs.15/- to buy the packet?
Is it the right solution of problem, which many others like me are facing ? If mishappening would have taken place
Who would have been responsible for that? It’s a very shameful act on part of company’s negligence.
I request the department concerned to look into the matter and take necessary action.
Thanking you
Regards,
Tarachand
