Grocers target kids in displays
By Rebecca Kolberg
UPI Science Writer
WASHINGTON (UPI) - Super-
markets appear to be targeting high-
sugar breakfast cereals at children
by placing the flashy boxes on
shelves within easy reach of
youngsters, a consumer survey
showed Tuesday.
Center for Science in the Public In-
terest said that its survey of more
than two dozen grocery stores con-
firms what many consumers ac-
tivists have suspected — that child-
oriented cereals tend to be more
often found on lower shelves than
brands aimed at adults.
In the surveyed stores, the
average position of 10 child-oriented
brands, like Froot Loops or Cap’n
Crunch, was the next-to-bottom shelf
of a typical four-shelf display. The
average position of 10 adult-targeted
brands, including All-Bran and
Grape Nuts, was the next-to-top
shelf.
The average sugar content of a
kid’s breakfast cereal was 44 per-
cent, compared to a 10 percent
average for adult cereals, the group
said.
Allen Goldberg, a spokesman for
the Grocery Manufacturers of
America, said breakfast cereal
manufacturers have little, if any, in-
fluence over where their products
are placed on store shelves. And no
matter what shelf the cereal boxes
occupy, Goldberg noted, “It’s the
parents that put the dollar down at
the cash register and have the final
say.”
A spokeswoman for Kellogg Co. of
Battle Creek, Mich., also objected to
the consumer group’s division of
cereals into adult and child
categories. Marketing studies have
found about half the people that eat
Kellogg’s Frosted Flakes, a sweet
cereal with colorful Tony the Tiger
on the box, are adults, she said.
The survey involved 27 major
supermarkets in Massachusetts and
the Chicago, Los Angeles, San Fran-
cisco and Washington metropolitian
areas.
The following is Center for Science
in the Public Interest’s list of cereals
surveyed, their manufacturers and
their sugar content:
Child-oriented brands were:
Ghostbusters, Ralston-Purina, 64
percent; Apple Jacks, Kellogg, 49
percent; Froot Loops, Kellogg, 45
percent; Cap’n Crunch, Quaker, 42
percent; Cocoa Pebbles, Post, 42
percent; Trix, General Mills, 42 per-
cent; Com Pops, Kellogg, 42 per-
cent; Cocoa Puffs, General Mills, 39
percent; Lucky Charms, General
Mills, 39 percent; Frosted Flakes,
Kellogg, 38 percent.
Adult-oriented brands were: All-
Bran, Kellogg, 18 percent; 40 per-
cent Bran Flakes, Post, 18 percent;
Total, General Mills, 11 percent;
Special K, Kellogg, 11 percent;
Wheat Germ, Quaker, 11 percent;
Grape-Nuts, Post, 11 percent; Pro-
duct 19, Kellogg, 11 percent; Nutri-
Grain, wheat, Kellogg, 7 percent;
Fiber One, General Mills, 7 percent;
Quaker Oats, Quaker, 0 percent.
