 In this undated file image released by the Ford Motor Co., the front of a Kellogg's cereal box shows artwork featuring the Ford Fusion Hot Wheels car. Kellogg Co., the world's largest cereal maker with brands like Apple Jacks and Frosted Flakes, has agreed to raise the nutritional value of the cereals and snacks it markets to children. David Mackay, Kellogg's president and chief executive, said in a statement Thursday, June 14, 2007 that 27 percent of Kellogg's U.S. advertising spending is directed to children under 12. He said the company was "taking these steps to address increasing concerns about marketing to children and further strengthen our commitment to responsible marketing." (AP Photo/Ford Motor Co., file) GRAND RAPIDS, Mich. (AP) - Kellogg Co. said Thursday it will increase the nutritional value of the cereals and snacks targeted at children or else stop marketing those products to them altogether.

Company brands such as Froot Loops cereal and Pop-Tarts toaster pastries that fall outside certain standards will either be reformulated or dropped from advertising that reaches audiences where at least half of the people are under age 12.

The change comes after parents and advocacy groups worried about child obesity threatened a lawsuit.
