After his 45-hugging days, I completely ceased buying any of their products and it's a shame because if you want to find readily-available Latinx ingredients in supermarkets, they are certainly the biggest brand. But I found other brands that I know are out there and refuse to touch any more Goya.

And as much as the media reported little or no impact immediately after his love-fest, apparently there HAS BEEN blow back!

From the OP article -

That in turn prompted a so-called "buy-cott" by Trump supporters, including Ivanka Trump, who urged the president's backers to buy Goya products.

In December, Unanue told a conservative radio show host that Ocasio-Cortez was the company's "employee of the month," claiming that the congresswoman's July tweets had in fact boosted sales. But the CNN source disputed that the controversy has been good for the company, and Goya's sales figures are not publicly disclosed.

"It's hard to really say [the controversy hurt sales] but sales growth is less than it was pre-him speaking at the Rose Garden," said the source.


Excuse my slang but they (deplorables) ain't buyin' no Goya food because deep down, they want the makers deported "back to Mexico" (as if all Hispanics were Mexicans) .
