"The Pennsylvania hamburger bun maker drew scrutiny after reports that Jim Martin, one of the family owners, along with his wife and daughter, donated upwards of $100,000 to far-right state senator Doug Mastriano’s campaign — the largest single-donor amount to that candidate in the last two years — which prompted food-industry figures to call for a boycott on Instagram and led some restaurants in San Francisco and Philadelphia to cut ties. Martin’s has said that while family members and stockholders hold political opinions, the company itself does not support any particular candidate or party and will continue to focus on baking quality products, providing service to customers, and supporting its communities." - Luke Fortney
