STATEMENT OF COMMISSIONER DEBORAH TAYLOR TATE REGARDING 
NESTLÉ’S PLEDGE TO ADVERTISE ONLY BETTER-FOR-YOU PRODUCTS TO 
CHILDREN UNDER 12
Today Nestlé joins fourteen of the nation’s largest food and beverage companies in pledging to 
only advertise better-for-you foods to children under 12.  In particular, this means the popular 
WONKA brand candies will no longer be advertised to young children.  Nestlé has also pledged 
that its ads targeting children will be limited to 100% fruit or vegetable juice drinks, 100 calorie 
low-fat flavored milk, chocolate powder flavoring that is either 25% lower in sugar, or contains 
no added sugar, and frozen desserts that contain no more than 100 calories.  I applaud Nestlé for 
this strong commitment to our children’s health and encourage all companies to join the 
Children’s Food and Beverage Advertising Initiative (CFBAI) to help end the epidemic of 
childhood obesity in America.
