In May 2006, Pepsi joined with other beverage industry leaders to adopt portion size and calorie guidelines for beverages offered in K – 12 schools.
The guidelines were developed with the Alliance for a Healthier Generation (AHG) - a joint initiative of the American Heart Association and the William J. Clinton Foundation - and were applauded as a groundbreaking step to help reduce calories consumed by students in schools.
The school beverage guidelines are part of a comprehensive program that includes education and fitness programs, developed by the AHG to help students learn healthy habits in both the calories they consume and the calories they burn.
