Celebrity chef Paula Deen has run into trouble with another major corporate partner: The Danish pharmaceutical company Novo Nordisk said Thursday that it would suspend its relationship in the wake of her admission that she used racist language in the past.

After that announcement, Target said it would stop selling cookware and other products bearing her name, as Home Depot and Wal-Mart had said Wednesday. The television shopping outlet QVC said it would “take a pause” in its dealings with Deen.

The one bright spot for Deen on Thursday came from Amazon.com, where her coming cookbook of diabetes-friendly recipes rose to the No. 1 best-seller slot.
