Education

Education is the essential link that enables people to select healthful diets and become more physically fit. We are committed to supporting educational programs designed to expand consumer knowledge and understanding about the benefits of a healthy lifestyle.

We have made great strides in expanding the level of nutritional information on our packaging, offering consumers factual and meaningful information about our beverage products to assist them in their beverage selections. Our policy is to place nutritional information on all of our labels, where feasible. Where this is not possible, for example on recyclable glass bottles, we provide nutritional information via other means such as Company websites.

We follow labeling requirements in the countries where our products are sold, and in many places, we exceed these requirements. The type and amount of information is a reflection of local regulations and consumer interest. At a minimum, our labels provide the beverage product’s amount of calories, protein, fat and carbohydrate.

We participate in nationally tailored nutrition labeling programs in many regions and countries, including Australia, the European Union, Latin America and the United States.

Nutrition Labeling in Europe
In Europe, we are committed to on-package Guideline Daily Amount (GDA) labeling designed to give consumers meaningful, consistent and transparent nutritional information.

In addition, we have committed to putting the number of calories per serving on the front of all packaging, along with the percentage the calories represent of total recommended daily calorie consumption. On the back of packaging, we provide nutritional information for calories, sugars, total fat, sodium and fibre per serving size and per 100 mL.

By the end of 2008, we plan to include GDA nutrition labeling on all of our packages in Europe.
