🚨 Reasons for Boycotting Kraft Heinz

The Kraft Heinz Company is a publicly-traded American multinational food company headquartered in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania and Chicago, Illinois. The company owns globally recognized brands including Heinz, Kraft, Oscar Mayer, Planters, Velveeta, Philadelphia, Lunchables, Capri Sun, and Jell-O. Kraft Heinz is deeply embedded in the israeli economy through registered subsidiaries, exclusive distribution agreements, technology investments, and supply chain integration extending to the israeli military, and by refusing to sever ties with israel, it contributes to the normalization of genocide.

3. Technology Investments in Tel Aviv — Evolv Ventures: Kraft Heinz's venture capital arm Evolv Ventures led a significant funding round for Fabric (formerly CommonSense Robotics), a Tel Aviv-based logistics robotics company.
