Sun Eaters Maker Pulls Product From Shelves of Starlite Pharmacies

By Lillian Searles

Gillian Goddard, owner of the local chocolate company, Suneaters Chocolate, announced via Instagram on Sunday that she has removed her product from the shelves of Starlite Pharmacies. 

Her products will no longer be available at any of their branches, but her products can be ordered directly through the Alliance of Rural Communities Online Shop or can be found at Uncorked, Simple Choice Mart and Vege Out as well.

There have been calls and petitions to boycott Starlite Pharmacy following comments made by CEO Gerald Aboud on his Facebook page, against the black community, resulting in uproar on social media about the integrity of the businesses under Mr Aboud, and businesses removing their products from his stores.

Aboud has since issued an apology, but it has not been widely accepted.
