PepsiCo's decision is part of a corporate response to protests over the treatment of African Americans and police brutality in the United States.

PepsiCo Incorporated said on Tuesday, February 9, its pancake mix and syrup products would be sold under the new name Pearl Milling Company after the company dropped the Aunt Jemima brand logo last year, acknowledging its roots in a racial stereotype.

"Pearl Milling Company-branded pancake mixes, syrups, cornmeal, flour, and grits products will start to arrive in market in June," PepsiCo said in a statement.
