What does the video say?
The video claims that a company called Senomyx creates flavour enhancements for companies like Pepsi, Kraft, Nestlé and Campbell’s.
It goes on to say that Senomyx grafts kidney cells from human aborted foetuses, replicates these cells, and puts them in products including Gatorade, Lay’s chips, Pepsi, Tropicana (all made by PepsiCo), Dasani water and Minute Maid (both made by the Coca-Cola Company).
Text above the video reads “HEK-239 [sic] artificial flavouring uses aborted fetus cells.”
HEK-293 is not a flavouring, and not directly “made from” aborted foetus cells
There aren’t human foetal cells in lots of popular snacks and drinks - Full Fact
The cells (which are cloned from an aborted foetus) are not used as flavourings, but used in flavouring development. All but one company named said they didn’t work with the company in question.

HEK-293 is the name given to a specific line of cells used in various scientific applications.
It is not in itself a flavouring, but one of its applications is to help mimic taste-receptor cells in the development of new flavourings.
The original cells were taken from the kidney of an aborted baby in 1973. HEK 293 cells used nowadays are clones of those original cells, but are not themselves the cells of aborted babies.
Senomyx, a biotechnology company, has patents appearing to relate to using HEK-293 cells in developing flavourings. HEK-293 is not in the flavouring itself.
So the video is incorrect in saying that Senomyx themselves “graft kidney cells from human aborted foetuses” and incorrect to say these cells are put into products.

Even cloning human cells, for the food industry, is a bit iffy... smacks too much of cannibalism, would a cloned thigh muscle of human be any better than the original thigh muscle on a plate?
Seems a bit like splitting hairs.
And, normalizing of the abnormal...
Just because they have been doing it for decades. and hiding behind numbers, letters and public ignorance, does not alter that.
