Ultra-Processed Foods (UPF) have become a significant part of the American diet, particularly among children, and may be contributing to the rise in childhood obesity, Type II Diabetes, and Non-alcoholic Fatty Liver Disease. Major food manufacturers, including Coca-Cola, Conagra, Danone, General Mills, Kellogg, Kellanova, Mars, Mondelez, Nestle, Pepsi, and Post, have been accused of creating addictive products that are harmful, especially to children. If you or your child regularly consumed ultra-processed foods and were diagnosed with type 2 diabetes or non-alcoholic fatty liver disease before age 18, compensation may be available.
Ultra-processed foods (UPFs) are made from substances extracted or synthesized through artificial processes, often molded into shapes to mimic natural foods. Designed for long shelf life, they are convenient and tasty, commonly found in locations that don't sell whole food products. Many ingredients in UPFs were developed since the 1980s, coinciding with the rise of childhood obesity, Type II Diabetes, and Non-alcoholic Fatty Liver Disease. Food manufacturers have avoided scrutiny by labeling ingredients as "generally recognized as safe" (GRAS). Some food companies, including those once owned by tobacco giants like RJ Reynolds and Philip Morris, may have used similar tactics as the tobacco industry to increase addiction risks by adding artificial sugars, fats, salt, preservatives, and other additives.
Individuals diagnosed with Type II Diabetes or Non-alcoholic Fatty Liver Disease before the age of 18, after consuming ultra-processed foods during childhood, may be eligible for compensation.
