Excerpt from 'NAD: General Mills Can Support “Now Even Better” Claim':

The National Advertising Division determined that General Mills can support the advertising claim “Now Even Better” as it is used on reformulated versions of Progresso Light Soups.

Competitor Campbell Soup Company challenged the claim, arguing that it was an unsubstantiated comparative superiority claim from which consumers could infer that General Mills was comparing its new light soup to a prior version of the same product or to a competitive soup brand, given the history of comparative advertising between the parties.
