PepsiCo Inc. on Tuesday said its pancake mix and syrup varieties previously found under the Aunt Jemima brand will now be sold under the Pearl Milling Co. brand.

"Though new to store shelves, Pearl Milling Company was founded in 1888 in St. Joseph, Missouri, and was the originator of the iconic self-rising pancake mix that would later become known as Aunt Jemima," PepsiCo said.

The company said Pearl Milling Company-branded products will start to arrive in market in June and also said "products will continue to be available under the Aunt Jemima name without the character image until June."

PepsiCo also said "In the coming weeks, Pearl Milling Company will also announce the details of a $1 million commitment to empower and uplift Black girls and women, inviting the community to visit its website and nominate non-profit organizations for an opportunity to receive grants to further that mission."
