COMMISSIONER DEBORAH TAYLOR TATE APPLAUDS NICKELODEON’S USE 
OF ITS CHARACTERS TO PROMOTE HEALTHY CHILDREN’S FOODS
Nickelodeon announced that it will use its characters only on food packaging and 
advertisements that are wholesome and healthy for children.
“It’s another great day for families,” said Commissioner Tate. “Nickelodeon joins a 
growing group of children’s programmers pledging to America’s families that their characters 
will promote healthier foods and lifestyles. I hope announcements like this one challenge other 
children’s programmers to consider similar pledges.”
