 | | WASHINGTON (AP) -- The maker of Wonder Bread has agreed to settle federal charges that it made unsupported advertising claims that calcium in its products could make children's minds work better and improve their memories. |
 | | Under the settlement, Interstate Bakeries Corp. (IBC: down $0.15 to $24.49, Research, Estimates), based in Kansas City, Mo., and its advertising agency, Minneapolis-based Campbell Mithun LLC, are barred from making health claims without scientific proof, the Federal Trade Commission said Wednesday. |
 | | "This case is about ad substantiation and not about whether Wonder Bread is a nutritious product," she said. |
