The FTC is particularly interested in breakfast cereals;
snack foods; candy; dairy products; baked goods; carbonated beverages; fruit juice and non-carbonated beverages; prepared foods and meals; frozen and chilled desserts; and quick-service restaurant
items.
Among other things, the FTC is seeking information on the use of traditional media targeting kids; all product placement, viral and word-of-mouth marketing activities, and any information on health claims such as "better for you." Data received will be treated in confidence except where it might be publicly available; it will be presented in "aggregate," rather than on specific companies.
