This page is part of our public exclusion list — a transparency tool that shows which companies we screen out and why. It is not investment advice, and it is not an accusation. But it is subject to change as our understanding of the facts evolves.
John B. Sanfilippo & Son, Inc. is a major processor and distributor of snack nuts and nut-based products, operating under brands such as Fisher and Southern Style Nuts. The company's core business involves the large-scale sourcing and processing of animal-derived ingredients, including dairy and eggs, which are integral to many of its manufactured products. This commercial reliance on animal agriculture places the company within the scope of animal exploitation.
The provided evidence searches returned no specific documentation of the company's supply chain practices or direct animal welfare incidents. This absence of public evidence, however, does not negate the fundamental nature of its operations. The company's product lines and manufacturing processes are built upon industries that systematically utilize animals for food production.
Without publicly available audits or commitments to alternative sourcing, the company's commercial model remains dependent on systems of animal exploitation.

The Naughty List
A digest of changes to our exclusion list — new additions, removals, and the evidence behind them. We review the list continuously as new evidence surfaces.
Companies appear on our exclusion list based on our investment judgment — not because they've done anything illegal. This is a difference of values and opinion, not an accusation of wrongdoing. Exclusion does not constitute a recommendation against investing in any company, and absence from the list does not constitute a recommendation to invest.
