‘Ultra-processed foods are making us sick’ – lawsuit against manufacturers

A US attorney who is suing some of the biggest food manufacturers is accusing them of deliberately designing products to be addictive – despite the harm they are known to cause.

David Chiu has brought a lawsuit against prominent ultra-processed food manufacturers, including Coca-Cola, Nestle, Kellog and Craft Heinz.

The lawsuit argues the US government is picking up the bill for the serious health consequences from their products, such as obesity, diabetes and cancer.

It also alleges the companies deliberately designed the foods to be addictive and marketed them to maximise profit, in full knowledge they make people sick.

Ultra-processed foods are not just junk food, but anything full of chemical-based preservatives, emulsifiers, sweeteners like high fructose corn syrup, hydrogenated fats, and artificial colours and flavours.

The millisecond the industry can replace actual dairy powder with a synthetic ingredient filler, they will dump NZ and crash the market.

The Supermarket Duopoly locks us into this cancer toxic ocean and of course any attempt to educate the shopper as to how unhealthy the food is gets shot down by ACT who are on the side of Industry…
