PETA Slams Post Malone's OREO Collaboration Over Animal Testing Concerns
Post Malone has partnered with Mondelēz International to release an exclusive OREO cookie flavor, launching February 3 as part of a Super Bowl promotion. The limited-edition cookie features an innovative swirled creme combining salted caramel and shortbread flavors—marking the first time OREO has created a twisted creme combination.

Each cookie comes with one of nine unique embossments inspired by Post Malone's world, including a special OREO x Posty vinyl design showcasing his discography. The packages include a handwritten signed note from the artist on the back.
The partnership has drawn criticism from PETA due to Mondelēz International's animal testing practices. PETA alleges the company conducts nutritional testing on mice, including controversial experiments involving forced consumption of human feces before dissection.
While Mondelēz International implemented a partial ban on animal testing in 2018, the company maintains testing continues "when needed to advance fundamental knowledge in nutritional science." PETA argues these experiments are both cruel and scientifically unreliable, citing the availability of modern, human-based research methods.
The organization's campaign aims to raise consumer awareness about food companies' animal testing practices, encouraging support for businesses that avoid animal testing entirely.
