<p>What are Cartoon Network's guidelines regarding licensing its characters on food and beverages?</p><p><span id="bodyfont" style="font-family:Verdana; font-size: 10pt;"><p>T<span style="font-size: 10pt;">o reflect our ongoing commitment to promote lifetime health and wellness for children and families, Cartoon Network has developed food- and beverage-related guidelines for the use of our characters and has made a pledge to develop new screen-based content that includes positive messages about nutrition and activity.</span></p> <span style="font-family: Verdana;"> <span> <p><span style="font-size: 10pt;">These guidelines, developed primarily from nutritional standards for food in schools issued by the Institute of Medicine (IOM) and the U.S. Dietary Guidelines, govern how Cartoon Network allows its original characters to be used in relation to food-related advertisers on-air, online or on packaged goods.</span></p> <p><span style="font-size: 10pt;">Under our policies, Cartoon Network limits the use of our characters aimed at children under the age of 12 to food and beverage products that meet specific nutritional criteria. These criteria include a cap on total calories per appropriate serving with limits on total fat, saturated fat, added trans fat, sodium, and sugar, as well as a requirement encouraging recommended nutrients such as vitamins A and C, iron, calcium, protein, and fiber.</span></p> <p><span style="font-size: 10pt;">Cartoon Network has applied its guidelines in the United States since January 1, 2008. The only exception is for the licensing of special occasion foods.</span></p> <p><span style="font-size: 10pt;">Cartoon Network is working with its nutritional experts to develop creative new content that includes messages about nutrition and activity both on-air and online. Our goal is to positively influence, educate and encourage families to adopt balanced and healthy lifestyles.</span></p> <p><span style="font-size: 10pt;">This pledge builds on Cartoon Network's extensive variety of Get Animated outreach programs and on-screen promotions aimed at reaching children through healthy lifestyle messages. These initiatives include targeted public-private partnerships, public service campaigns, online education, and off-channel activities and special events.</span></p> <p style="background: white none repeat scroll 0% 0%;
