The Role of the Food Companies
The specific task with respect to discussions at Boca Raton related to the possible role that the food companies might play. While this requires and merits serious exploration, some general observations should be made.
2500103996
EXCERPT
Both companies (General Foods and Kraft) are highly exposed/vulnerable with respect to their own product lines--caffeine, cholesterol, fats, tropical oils, etc. The new Secretary General is publicly on the record with respect to "junk food," nutrition and the big food companies flogging junk on the unsuspecting masses. Any food company/WHO initiative would have to be very carefully managed so as not to make them a target.
EXCERPT
None of this is to suggest we abandon this route, rather that it not be pursued to the exclusion of other avenues. The following represents some concrete avenues which can and should be explored with respect to the food companies.
1. Utilize the Issues Management Committee to facilitate an "audit of synergies" between ourselves and the food companies i.e. technology, memberships, issues, intelligence/information and contacts.
2. The GF World Food Prize does not appear to have been utilized to its full potential. The opportunity exists to bring in the FAO and/or a number of institutions concerned about world hunger. This could present a means of reinforcing our links/interests and forging alliances. The Food Prize programme affords the opportunity to broaden the base and possibly receive NGO status with the FAO.

EXCERPT
4. While the issues of hunger and nutrition seem overloaded with participants and money seems to have made little dent in the world's food problems, it would be nonetheless worthwhile if the food companies could explore a basic nutrition education programme. General Foods apparently had a successful one in the United States, but which has been allowed to lapse. It would be worth investigating whether similar programmes, perhaps in conjunction with safe food preparation and storage educational programmes, could provide an access to health groups not normally predisposed to tobacco interests and to some of the WHO NGOs concerned about this issue. In short the food companies, subject to all the preliminiary observations, offer the possibility of neutral ground from which one can network around the periphery of the WHO.
2500103998
2. There is currently a vacancy in the WHO Food Safety Bureau; they are looking for an industry expert to be "donated" to the WHO to act as a liaison with business. If there is someone at Kraft/GF who possesses the skills, we should consider offering his or her services for a one to two year period.
3. We should explore the feasibility of developing relationships with the regional offices of the WHO which act relatively autonomously and are always looking for additional funding. Through one of our corporate contributions to a programme for the handicapped in the PRC, an initial good contact was established within the regional WHO office.
4. WHO's smoking inititative is receiving some significant "outside" funding. The Japaniese Shipbuilders Association, for example, has handed over $600,000. There are a variety of avenues which should be explored with respect to containing funding from private sources.
