Cereal FACTS presents a comprehensive and independent science-based evaluation of cereal company marketing to children and adolescents in 2008 through early 2009: the period prior to and immediately following full implementation of cereal company CFBAI pledges.

This comprehensive report is a first step in quantifying the marketing and nutrition impact of cereals marketed to children. The hope is that cereal companies, whether by choice or mandate, will make rapid and sustained progress toward marketing only healthy cereals, as defined by objective nutrition standards, to children and adolescents.
