But, yes - if you are going to air your politics on a big stage, you are going to face some consequences. Maybe they'll be negative, maybe they'll be positive. But you can't expect to play politics and not have other people "play back".....
I'm gonna buy some today and give it to my church food bank. Think I'll keep doing that for a while. Support real Americans like the Goya family.
They're running a social media campaign to buy Goya products.
But yeah, the owner and CEO of Goya apparently is a Trump supporter.
He made a choice to be political.
His right, his choice.
We have Goya products in our pantry, have no issue with them previously, and would not have ever thought two seconds about the politics of the owner had he not put a spotlight on himself and then doubled down.
And since my wife is indeed not a Trumpist Fox Nation person and generally well informed, (especially in the arena of food, which is our business after all, of which she is the CEO), I would be willing to bet she'll choose Wegman's store brand given a choice and look for other alternatives if a particular recipe calls for a product Goya makes. I see plenty of store brand products in this category already on the shelf as she tends to be a frugal shopper to begin with, so, heck it might have been my own shopping trips when the Goya stuff was bought. I'll look for the alternative when available going forward.
I'm not rabid about this stuff, don't spend my time looking for causes to support or boycott, but this one popped up right in our wheel house, so...
EDIT, just checked and the pantry is about 3:1 Wegmans to Goya in beans, all sorts, also almost all diced tomatoes etc are Wegmans. Bunch of cans of Contadina tomato paste, which is a Del Monte brand.
