Mars Candy Company Wants You To Lay Off The Sugar
Mars, which makes M&Ms, Snickers and Twix, said Friday that it supports gov- ernment recommendations to limit sugar intake and label sweets with the amount of added sugar they contain.
It's surprising, coming from a candy maker.
Panera Bread (PNRA) and Chipotle (CMG), have also recently made high-profile changes in their ingredi- ents, getting rid of hard-to- pronounce chemicals and genetically-modified foods. For its part, Mars says it wants to address the "health and nutritional chal- lenges facing our society."
to include "added sugars" to nutrition labels on pack- aged foods.
Unlike natural sugar, added sugars and syrups are used to make foods sweet- er and give them a longer shelf-life.
The company made its support official in a letter to

But lately, food companies have been falling over each other in trying to show who is better by either getting rid of artificial ingredients or offering more natural foods. Nestle (NSRGF) said in February that it was the first major candy maker to eliminate all artificial color and flavors from its choco- lates.

"Supporting global public health efforts to limit soci- ety's consumption of added sugars and labeling our products transparently are steps in the right direction for us and will benefit everyone who enjoys Mars products," the company said in a statement.
Mars said it endorses rec- ommendations by global health authorities to limit the amount of sugar con- sumers eat to no more than 10% of their daily calorie intake. In addition, the company said it supports a U.S. government proposal

"We want people to enjoy Mars brands as part of a well-balanced diet," said Dave Crean, head of research & development at Mars
