KELLOGG COMPANY COMMITTED TO PROVIDING NUTRITIOUS OFFERINGS TO RESTAURANTS
Kellogg Partners with National Restaurant Association’s Kids LiveWell Program
(January 29, 2013) Elmhurst, Ill. — Kellogg Company is committed to helping kids make healthier eating choices
by offering a variety of nutritious products across all segments. Kellogg is proud to partner with the Kids LiveWell
initiative, a voluntary program developed by the National Restaurant Association (NRA) in collaboration with
Healthy Dining, a team of registered dietitians who work with restaurants to identify and guide consumers to
healthy dining options. As one of the few foodservice suppliers to spearhead the cause, Kellogg is making a bold
commitment to partner with restaurants in providing more choices for better nutritious kids’ choices.
“By forging a partnership with the Kids LiveWell program, the Kellogg Company continues our commitment to
offer nutritious, flexible meal options for kids and their parents at and away from home,” said Dennis Moy,
customer marketing manager, Kellogg Company. “Our branded products offer a range of nutritious choices that
appeal to both kids and parents. Kellogg understands consumers’ demand for healthy menu options and we’re
happy to help restaurant operators meet these needs.”
Kellogg Products Adhere to Strict Nutritional Guidelines of the Kids LiveWell Program
Continuing to be an advocate of kids’ nutrition, Kellogg strives to develop innovative products that have kid-appeal
and meet strict criteria set forth by the Kids LiveWell program based on leading health organizations’ scientific
recommendations, including the USDA Dietary Guidelines.
By joining the Kids LiveWell program, Kellogg will help restaurants to satisfy kids and parents’ hunger and
recommended healthful options while at the same time offering convenient solutions. The Kellogg Company will
work hand-in-hand with restaurants to incorporate these options into menu items.
The goal of the initiative is to increase kids’ consumption of fruits and vegetables, lean protein, whole grains and
low-fat dairy, while limiting total calories, unhealthy fats, sodium and total sugar in the child’s diets. Currently more
than 115 restaurants representing more than 30,000 locations nationwide participate in the program. With
nutritious meal options being a top priority for most parents, it would benefit the operator to include healthy
options on the menu. Of the nearly 200 trending items in the NRA’s “What’s Hot in 2013” chef survey, wellbalanced, nutritional kids’ dishes ranked number three1, making it critical to incorporate healthy menu items.
