Disney Consumer Products launched an initiative in 2006 to market more nutritious foods to children in response to concerns about childhood obesity. They established Disney Nutritional Guidelines to control sugar, fat and additive levels in foods and transitioned their portfolio from sweets to whole foods. Disney utilized three licensing models - traditional licensing, sourcing, and direct-to-retail partnerships - to introduce their "Better For You" product line and planned to make all products compliant with nutrition standards by 2008. They aimed to use the popularity of Disney characters to promote healthy eating habits to both children and parents.
