Major U.S. food companies, including Coca-Cola and General Mills, face a lawsuit alleging they have created addictive "ultra-processed" foods that contribute to chronic illnesses in children. The plaintiff, Brass Martinez, claims these companies knowingly designed harmful products, seeking compensatory and punitive damages for their actions. The case highlights growing concerns over the health impacts of highly processed foods and the industry's responsibility in addressing these issues.
Processed food stocks plummeted as investors reacted to President-elect Trump’s nomination of Robert F. Kennedy Jr. for Health and Human Services Secretary, raising concerns over increased scrutiny of major food brands. PepsiCo, Coca-Cola, General Mills, and others saw significant declines, with Kennedy's focus on reforming the FDA and his criticism of current regulations fueling fears of tighter oversight on popular snack and beverage products.
