This seems to be false.

Exactly what I thought. There is no way.
They're not monsters.

"They also use fetal growth tissue for flavoring in your food."

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Your stated claim sounds like they (food companies) put fetal cells into the food. There is a difference between researching the reaction of cloned fetal cells to various chemicals involved in human taste (Senomyx), and actually putting "fetal growth tissue" into food.

The long list of food companies you linked to [#1303, third link]

-- Stop Eating Foods with Aborted Human Fetal Tissue --

says "we are eating and drinking the cells of the children. This has got to stop!"

"Here is a list of foods that are questionable and you may elect to stop eating today. These may contain the “artificial flavorings” that contain fetal tissue.

I am saying that they may not, and most likely do not contain human fetal tissue. Senomyx appears to have used a fetal cell line in researching and developing their product.

But using massive amounts of "fetal tissue" by most of the major US processed food companies just doesn't seem credible to me, especially after the public uproar that happened in 2016 when it was reported that PepsiCoi was considering using a Senomyx flavor enhancing product.
