Proposed headquarters for Amy's Kitchen (City of Petaluma)
After two-and-a-half years, activists are ending their boycott of Amy’s Kitchen products. On Wednesday, the Food Empowerment Project announced an agreement to end the boycott, which called for improvements to workplace safety, wages and health insurance. The boycott started in January of 2022, in protest of alleged labor violations and unsafe working conditions at the organic food maker’s production plant in Santa Rosa. An employee’s complaint, filed with Cal-OSHA, led to several grocery chains across the nation taking Amy’s Kitchen products off their shelves. The boycott was backed by the Food Empowerment Project and other food justice organizations.
