Baking for the fall and winter holidays? Avoid the doughboy.
That’s the message from a national ministry of the United Church of Christ, objecting to illegal Israeli settlements in Palestinian territories. Wider Church Ministries – citing a 2015 UCC General Synod resolution – is calling for a boycott of Pillsbury, a U.S. maker of baking products that range from flour to pre-made pie crusts and dessert doughs. The company has a manufacturing plant in occupied East Jerusalem.
