Media Advisory: BCTGM Enhances “Check the Label” Campaign Against Nabisco/Mondelēz With Release of Video



KENSINGTON, MD, March 11, 2016 - Today, the Bakery, Confectionery, Tobacco Workers and Grain Millers International Union (BCTGM) released a video (

) in support of their recently-announced “Check the Label” campaign. The "Check the Label" campaign was launched after Nabisco/Mondelēz closed numerous U.S. production facilities costing many hundreds of American jobs, while at the same time expanding production in its facilities in Monterrey and Salinas, Mexico, where low wages and minimal regulatory standards and oversight persist.



Today’s video illustrates the steps consumers need to take to support American jobs by ensuring their favorite Nabisco products are produced in America before purchasing.

1. thanks, Steve, for this and your earlier thread about Nabisco. I have a question - what about candy?

Hershey, Mars, M&M all produce much of their candy in Mexico now, which really pisses me off. And there usually is no way to tell where it is manufactured from the label - they use the weasel words "distributed by".

is there any way to figure out from the label whether the candy was made in the US or not?

With Easter coming up, it would be really nice to know.
