These excerpts taken from the PBG 10-K filed Feb 20, 2009. School Sales Legislation;
Industry Guidelines. In 2004, the U.S. Congress
passed the Child Nutrition Act, which required school districts
to implement a school wellness policy by July 2006. In May 2006,
members of the American Beverage Association, the Alliance for a
Healthier Generation, the American Heart Association and The
William J. Clinton Foundation entered into a memorandum of
understanding that sets forth standards for what beverages can
be sold in elementary, middle and high schools in the United
States (the “ABA Policy”). Also, the beverage
associations in the European Union and Canada have recently
issued guidelines relating to the sale of beverages in schools.
We intend to comply fully with the ABA Policy and these
guidelines. In addition, legislation has been proposed in Mexico
that would restrict the sale of certain high-calorie products,
including soft drinks, in schools and that would require these
products to include a label that warns consumers that
consumption abuse may lead to obesity.
