PepsiCo, which owns Frito-Lay and Quaker Oats, whose brands are sometimes manufactured at Hearthside, did not respond to repeated requests ...

It appears that corporations hire Hearthside to manufacture their products.
NO EXCUSE.
I like how the company is blaming the staffing agency. A cynical person could say that is one of the reasons they use a staffing agency - to deflect blame.
The Times found products made with child labor in the American supply chains of major brands and retailers, including Ben & Jerry’s, Fruit of the Loom, Ford, General Motors, J. Crew, Walmart, Whole Foods and Target. In Grand Rapids, Mich., children worked late nights at plants operated by Hearthside Food Solutions,
From the Hearthside website on 02/25:
Thanks. I looked, but could quickly find no evidence that Hearthside produced Cheetos (or any Frito Lay Product).
I did see where they produced a lot for Post and several other national brands, but didn’t see Lay’s or Pepsi listed.
They seem to have 6 locations in the Midwest (MI, MN, IN, 2 in IL) and Washington State, also another one in Virginia.
The one in Grand Rapids seems to be where they found the under-age workers.
This should be investigated to the utmost: the company, the staffing agency, the “sponsors” of the children.
Remember a few years ago people were talking about how the Indians (from India) had taken over the financial contracting sector? This could be similar....
I read an editorial about how Ben & Jerry’s supports immigration and how as a result they had child labor making their ice cream. I did not understand that article then but now I do.
Just undermine the nation from every conceivable angle!
They are apparently a co-packer
How they can get away with it in this day and age.
Somebody must be getting paid off big time.
“It’s getting to be a business for some of these sponsors,”

PepsiCo owns Frito Lay. PepsiCo has been pushing for every liberal thing out there including open borders.
Now you know why.
I just finished eating some Cheetos a few minutes ago. 😣
Yeah, something's rotten in Denmark.
Hey no problem. Under the Biden administration just replace child laborers with illegal alien laborers.
Hey! I guess I’ll have to find a substitute for Cheetos. Surely UTZ Brand has something good enough and close enough for my tastes; And made right here in good old Hanover, PA.
What ages are these child workers? The article doesn’t seem to say.
Well full disclosure I was eating Aldis brand of cheetos not the real deal. 😉
Change one letter in the name and...Cheatos.
Problem solved.
You notice it seems to be these ‘woke’ corporations doing most of this?
As someone else posted earlier, child labor or slaves? Democrats have not ventured far from their roots at all.
Doers no one see the coincidence of this “child labor” bust at a major production outlet with yesterday’s article about how a brain-dead US Senator has co-sponsored NEW legislation to crack down on child labor?
This entire article is a setup to legitimize Fetterman still “participating” in the process when he is obviously effing dead!
