The genetic modification policy of Sensations’ parent firm Pepsi has received a poor review when the business acknowledged utilising GM components in its products.

In what areas does Sensations score well for its ethics?
Sensations receives a top rating for Fossil Fuels, Nuclear Power and Armaments, as PepsiCo is not associated with any of these unethical industries.
