Filed under: Food & beverage brands · Companies that support Israel

Background

Constellation Brands has no documented donations, investments, operations, contracts, or statements supporting Israel. A common confusion drives search interest in the company: Constellation owns Corona, Modelo, and Pacifico only in the United States (perpetual rights acquired from Anheuser-Busch InBev in the 2013 divestiture of Grupo Modelo's U.S. business); everywhere else — including the Middle East — those beer brands belong to AB InBev, so Corona sold outside the U.S. has no connection to Constellation. The company has no operations or subsidiaries in Israel, and its SEC filings mention Israel only in geopolitical risk boilerplate and in 2004/2006 bank lists naming Israel Discount Bank of New York among lenders. Its corporate PAC has never given to pro-Israel committees — the only 'Israel' matches in its FEC disbursement records are routine contributions to former New York congressman Steve Israel, whose surname causes the false positive. The organized boycotts that do target Constellation concern water extraction around its since-abandoned Mexicali brewery project in Mexico and past U.S. political donations, not Israel, and the company is absent from BDS boycott lists.

What we checked

• News & official statements — 2026-07-21
  Searched Constellation Brands / Corona / Modelo + Israel donation/support/boycott. No reports of any Israel-linked corporate action; boycott coverage concerns the Mexicali brewery water dispute and 2016–17 U.S. political donations. Corona/Modelo outside the U.S. are AB InBev brands, not Constellation's.
• Nonprofit tax filings (Form 990) — 2026-07-21
  ProPublica search for 'Constellation Brands' returns only the company's Employee Benefit Trust (EIN 35-2192258) and Friends of the Constellation Brands Marvin Sands Performing Arts Center (EIN 20-2236574), a local arts booster in Canandaigua, NY; no corporate grant-making foundation and no Israel-linked grantees.
• SEC filings — 2026-07-21
  Full-text search (CIK 16918): 11 filings mention 'Israel' — FY2024 earnings releases, a 10-Q, and January 2024 prospectuses with risk boilerplate on 'military conflicts in Ukraine and in Israel', plus 2004/2006 indenture exhibits listing Israel Discount Bank of New York among lender banks. No Israeli operations, investments, subsidiaries, or contracts.
• Federal election records (FEC) — 2026-07-21
  Constellation Brands Inc PAC (C00304832) Schedule B disbursements searched for AIPAC, NORPAC, DMFI, To Protect Our Heritage, and 'pro-Israel' recipients: zero results. The seven 'Israel' name matches are 2008–2013 contributions to Rep. Steve Israel's campaign committees — a surname coincidence, not pro-Israel committee giving.
• Independent fact-checkers — 2026-07-21
  No Snopes/Reuters/AFP/FactCheck.org fact-checks exist on Constellation–Israel claims; the company is absent from the BDS movement's boycott lists, and the only organized boycotts against it (Mexicali water, Trump-era donations) are unrelated to Israel.
