    Food & Beverage Companies Reduce 1.5 Trillion Calories in the Marketplace

    Three years after a 2010 commitment by the Healthy Weight Commitment Foundation and its 16 food and beverage corporate partners to the First Lady’s Partnership for a Healthier America, leaders in the industry have reduced 1.5 trillion calories in the marketplace.

    05.31.13
    The Healthy Weight Commitment Foundation (HWCF), Washington, D.C. has revealed that America’s top food and beverage companies have exceeded their goal of reducing 1.5 trillion calories in the marketplace in the U.S. This announcement comes three years after a 2010 commitment by the HWCF and its 16 food and beverage corporate partners, to the First Lady’s Partnership for a Healthier America (PHA) to reduce calories by 1.5 trillion by 2015. 
     
    “Our industry has an important role to play in helping people lead healthy lives and our actions are having a positive impact,” said Indra Nooyi, HWCF chair, chairman and CEO of PepsiCo. “We see continued opportunities to give consumers the choices they’re looking for and to work collaboratively with the public and non-profit sectors on initiatives that enable continued progress.”
     
    The progress report showcased that the HWCF calorie reduction in the marketplace since our baseline year of 2007 was achieved by giving new choices and continued great taste for the consumer.
     
    “We continue to thank the First Lady for her leadership in calling for national action to end childhood obesity,” said Lisa Gable, president of the HWCF. “In 2010 we pledged that we would reduce calories in the marketplace and we have delivered on that promise.”
     
    In announcing this milestone, Ms. Gable was joined at the Bipartisan Policy Center (BPC) by former U.S. Secretary of Agriculture and BPC Senior Fellow Dan Glickman; Tracy Orleans, senior scientist at the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation (RWJF); and Hank Cardello, senior fellow and director, Obesity Solutions Initiative at Hudson Institute and author of the report, Lower-Calorie Foods and Beverages Drive Healthy Weight Commitment Foundation Companies’ Sales Growth, also released today.
     
    “Today we are seeing an example of what can happen when the public and private sectors join forces – you get results,” said Mr. Glickman. “The leading food and beverage companies in the country came together to form this first-of-its kind foundation because they knew they could make a difference, and they have."
     
    Additionally, HWCF has reported annually to the PHA on the progress that has been made toward this pledge.  
     
    RWJF, the nation's largest philanthropy devoted exclusively to improving the health and health care of all Americans, is supporting a rigorous, independent evaluation to determine whether HWCF has met its calorie-reduction goal. That evaluation will be released in the fall. Follow-up studies supported by RWJF also will evaluate subsequent effects on children's diets.
     
    “Today’s report from the Healthy Weight Commitment Foundation (HWCF) offers further indication that consumer demand is shifting toward healthier choices. We are pleased that HWCF’s participating companies are a key part of this transformation,” said Larry Soler, president and CEO of the PHA. “HWCF was one of the first organizations to sign on with PHA, which is committed to working with the private sector to help end the childhood obesity crisis within a generation. Our partners know that a commitment made is a commitment kept — it’s part of what makes them leaders and worthy of praise. So while HWCF’s numbers look positive, we look forward to the findings of the independent evaluation funded by the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation, which is available in the fall.”
     
    The HWCF participating companies include:
     
    Bumble Bee Foods, LLC
    Campbell Soup Company
    ConAgra Foods
    General Mills, Inc.
    Kellogg Company
    Kraft Foods, Inc.
    Mars, Incorporated
    McCormick & Company, Inc.
    Nestlé USA
    PepsiCo
    Post Foods/Ralston Foods, LLC
    Sara Lee Corporation
    The Coca-Cola Company
    The Hershey Company
