San Francisco Takes Legal Action Against Major Ultra-Processed Food Brands

San Francisco has initiated a groundbreaking legal action against a dozen giants in the ultra-processed food industry, including Mars, Coca-Cola, and Nestlé. The city accuses these companies of creating a "public health crisis" that burdens its finances.

The Democratic metropolis is targeting manufacturers of chips, sodas, prepared meals, and children's cereals, which produce their foods in laboratories using numerous additives such as colorants and emulsifiers.
