One organization, World Wildlife Fund (WWF), is leveraging LexisNexis data with Generative AI to help identify and combat overfishing, illegal fishing, and marine habitat destruction worldwide. Using Nexis Data+ to access and analyze international news, WWF seeks to identify where and when potential conflict over fisheries might unfold.  With its Oceans Futures platform, enhanced by LexisNexis data, WWF is seeking to strengthen conservation by galvanizing its international coalition, attracting media and policy attention to these issues, supporting strategic planning and resource allocation, and stopping conflicts before they start.

“From declining food security in local fishing communities to disputes between global superpowers, the risk of violent fisheries conflict is on the rise. To address these challenges, World Wildlife Fund must rapidly mobilize attention and resources at a global scale,” said Johan Bergenas, Senior Vice President of Oceans at WWF.

New York, NY – November 25, 2024 – In a challenge brought by competitor PIM Brands, Inc., BBB National Programs’ National Advertising Division recommended that General Mills, Inc. discontinue or modify certain express and implied claims regarding the fruit and vegetable content of Mott’s Fruit Flavored Snacks and the nutritional benefits of those ingredients.

The National Advertising Division (NAD) first determined that PIM’s challenge to labeling for Mott’s Fruit Flavored Snacks and Mott’s website fell outside NAD’s jurisdiction. General Mills argued that NAD lacked jurisdiction over these claims because of a court order in litigation where the court reviewed these same labeling and website claims.

NAD reviewed the challenged claims and the court’s order and determined that certain claims in that proceeding are the same and were subject to the court’s order and determined that it will decline to exercise jurisdiction over those claims.

NAD determined, however, that it retains jurisdiction of claims not covered by the court’s order.

For claims over which it retained jurisdiction, NAD determined that certain challenged advertising appearing on third-party retailer websites for Mott’s Fruit Flavored Snacks did not communicate any unsupported implied message about Mott’s Fruit Flavored Snacks’ fruit and vegetable ingredients or nutritional qualities.

NAD determined, however, that certain remaining challenged advertising for Mott’s Fruit Flavored Snacks reasonably conveyed the message that:

• The product contains fruits and vegetables;
• The product is made with whole fruits and vegetables; and
• Fruit and vegetable juice concentrate provides nutritional benefits.

NAD found that General Mills failed to support these implied claims through challenged social media posts and by reviews reposted by General Mills, including:

• “These are great. Way [sic] to get my kids to eat fruits and vegetables. They have [had] a package each night after dinner for years and years.”
• “My kids love eating these and I love the fact that it’s made with real fruits and vegetables and no artificial colors. It helps with trying to show them how to eat mindfully and healthy.”

NAD recommended that General Mills discontinue the challenged reposted reviews in its advertising and modify its advertising to avoid conveying the implied messages that Mott’s Fruit Flavored Snacks contain fruits and vegetables, are made with whole fruits and vegetables, or the fruit and vegetable juice concentrate in Mott’s Fruit Flavored Snacks provides nutritional benefits.

In its advertiser statement, General Mills stated that it will comply with NAD’s recommendation.

New York, NY – November 22, 2024 – Following a challenge brought by BBB National Programs’ National Advertising Division as part of its routine monitoring program, Drip Hydration voluntarily discontinued advertising claims for its Drip Hydration Ketamine IV Therapy.

At issue for the National Advertising Division (NAD) were claims that Drip Hydration’s at-home IV ketamine drips could treat serious mental health conditions and serve as an alternative to prescription medications. Ketamine is a dissociative anesthetic with hallucinogenic effects.

During the inquiry Drip Hydration permanently discontinued all challenged claims.

NAD will treat the permanently discontinued claims, for compliance purposes, as if NAD recommended that they be discontinued.

Drip Hydration declined to provide an advertiser statement.
