Cola company named a 'kids food baddie'

Coca-Cola has hit back after being labelled as one of the baddies of the kids food industry, saying it does not market their product to children.

Today, the results of the annual Munch Food Awards were released, naming the goodies and baddies of children's food.

The Munch Awards were established last year with the aim of raising awareness of which foods were best for children.

The Weet-Bix TRYathlon came up trumps, and took out the new Supreme Award.

Despite winning the award, a Coca-Cola spokesman said the company did not market their product to children.

McDonalds was named as another baddie of the food industry, and won the award for Worst Kids Food Marketing Campaign for its Happy Meals.
