An important message to every mother in America Today, many people are asking serious questions about the nutritive values o f the foods they eat each day. With this in mind, we thought you might be interested in the nutritional background o f some o f the line products we bake for your fa m ily... Wonder Bread and Hostess Cakes. It started in 1941 Shortly before America entered World War II. the Committee on Food and Nutrition o f the Na tional Research Council noted serious deficiencies in the American die,. Because bread is so widely consumed by every segment of our population, the U.S. Government requested that white bread be enriched ^so that it would provide even more o f the nutrients needed for healthy growth and development. IT T Continental Baking Company worked with millers, pharmaceutical experts and U.S. Government agencies to develop the high-quality enriched Wonder Bread you enjoy today. Shortly alter the war. when the mandatory bread-enrich ment program was discontinued, it was IT T Continental Baking, with Wonder Bread, which ltd the way in continuing this bread-enrichment program on a voluntary basis. A word about advertising A t IT T Continental Baking we have always be lieved in producing wholesome, quality products and advertising them in a completely honest and factual way. For 15 years our theme for Wonder Bread has been “ Helps build strong bodies 12 ways.” This fact is authenticated by our own laboratories and by independent research organi zations. We are proud that our product and its advertising have done so much to make Ameri cans aware of the importance of nutrition in the foods they eat each day. What the future holds I I I Continental Baking w ill continue to improve the products it makes for your family. For ex ample, we have advised the Food and Nutrition Board. National Research Council. National Academy of Science, that we w ill provide addi tional nutritional fortification in our products, if and when they decide such fortification is desir able. So you can be certain that products made by the IT T Continental Baking Company w ill continue to be as nutritionally beneficial as they can possibly be Nutrition - our continuing project AMERICAN COMEDY •W E E K * TpRìr’srìTào’ lyse EASIER S K IS Recently, ITT Continental Baking took another step toward providing more nutritious foods by introducing the first vitamin-fortified snack cakes. I his was in line with recommendations made by the White House Conference on Fixxl Nutrition and Health. Thus our Hostess Cakes provide sound nutrients as well as good taste As a mother, you know how important this is. As a further step in our efforts to contribute as much as we can to America’s nutritional well being, we developed “Astrofood.” ' This specialized breakfast fixxl is designed to help provide children with the nutrients they need for greater attentive ness and learning capacity. Especially important to children in underprivileged areas. "Astrofood" is being made available to schools across the nation. 11 I Continental Baking worked with the U.S. Department of Agriculture on this project.
