San Francisco, led by City Attorney David Chiu, filed a landmark lawsuit in early December 2025 against 10 major ultra-processed food (UPF) manufacturers (like Coca-Cola, PepsiCo, General Mills, Nestlé, Kraft Heinz) for deceptive marketing, claiming they knowingly engineered addictive products, especially targeting children, and created a public health crisis linked to diseases like diabetes and cancer, seeking financial penalties and changes to marketing practices.
This first-of-its-kind suit argues these companies violate California laws by hiding health risks, similar to tobacco litigation.
