Tillamook
VS
Boycott campaigners
Tillamook is a US dairy cooperative based in Tillamook, Oregon, known for its cheese and other dairy products.
Boycott campaigners are advocacy groups and consumers who have organized campaigns urging people to stop buying Tillamook products, often citing concerns about the company's advertising and sourcing practices.
The conflict between Tillamook and boycott campaigners centers on allegations that Tillamook's marketing misleads consumers about the company's sourcing practices.
In 2019, the Center for Food Safety called for a boycott of Tillamook dairy products over what it described as misleading advertising that hides unsustainable sourcing practices, and a lawsuit was filed by Oregon consumers accusing Tillamook of deceptive advertising.
The Animal Legal Defense Fund has also challenged Tillamook's advertising campaigns, arguing they mislead consumers into believing the company's products are sourced from humane, pasture-based operations.
These disputes have led to public calls for boycotts and consumer backlash, with campaigners using social media hashtags such as #BeTheTruthTillamook to urge participation.
Tillamook, which projected $1 billion in sales in 2020, faces ongoing scrutiny over its marketing claims and sourcing practices.
