A separate initiative called the Healthy Weight Commitment Foundation — which includes many GMA members — will announce pledges to improve the health content of its products later this month.

Obesity rates among U.S. children have doubled in the past 20 years, and almost a third of American children are either overweight or obese.

Obesity causes a host of health problems such as heart disease and diabetes and costs the United States an estimated $150 billion each year, according to U.S. federal agencies.

“We’ve heard from consumers and you can see this in the companies in terms of how they’ve changed their recipes,” said Pamela Bailey, president and chief executive of GMA.

In an effort not to miss the lucrative push toward healthier foods, major food manufacturers have recently changed some popular products.

Kraft Foods, the maker of Oreo cookies and Velveeta cheese, announced it would cut sodium levels in its North American products by about 10 percent over the next two years — eliminating more than 750 million teaspoons of salt.

PepsiCo, the world’s No. 2 soft-drink maker, vowed in March to cut the levels of salt, sugar and saturated fats in its top-selling products by 2020. Read Food Industry To Obama: We’ll Improve Nutrition.
