Tell food companies to do the right thing: Market healthier foods to kids

The Issue

Marketing to kids is a multi-BILLION dollar industry. That’s why new guidelines proposed by the government are asking companies to limit what foods and beverages they market to kids to ensure that they meet standard nutritional requirements.

Many of the largest companies, such as Coca-Cola, McDonald’s and General Mills, recently released their own set of guidelines for marketing their products to kids. It’s a step forward, but we know they can do even better. Our kids deserve better.

Ask these 17 companies to publicly agree to follow the federal principles:

Burger King Corp.

Cadbury Adams USA LLC

Campbell Soup Company

ConAgra Foods, Inc

General Mills, Inc

Kellogg Company

Kraft Foods Global, Inc

Mars Inc.

McDonald's USA. LLC

Nestle USA

PepsiCo, Inc

Post Foods, LLC

Sara Lee Corp

The Coca-Cola Company

The Dannon Company

The Hershey Company

Unilever
