A pro-life group called off its year-long boycott of Pepsi products Monday after the soft-drink giant provided assurances it would no longer use an aborted fetal-cell line to develop flavor enhancers.

"When they said they would not use HEK cell lines in their most recent letter - well, that is the hallmark for Senomyx research. So that was majorly different than what they had said in the past," she explained.
