Ultra-processed foods (UPFs) have become a staple in the diets of children throughout the United States, often replacing healthier options. These foods are engineered for convenience and taste, but contain high amounts of sugar, unhealthy fats, and artificial additives, which are known to cause serious long-term health risks.  However, the food industry has marketed these products without adequately disclosing the long-term side effects they may cause.

Our ultra-processed food lawyers are now pursuing childhood diabetes and fatty liver disease lawsuits against a number of major food manufacturers, for selling products with harmful ingredients that were specifically targeted toward children. 

Financial compensation and settlements may be available through an ultra-processed food lawsuit for individuals diagnosed who were diagnosed with any of the following conditions before the age of 18:

  • Childhood Type II Diabetes
  • Non-Alcoholic Fatty Liver Disease (NAFLD)
  • Other Chronic Health Conditions

Junk Food Lawsuits Explained

Our lawyers are pursuing junk food lawsuits against some of the largest and most influential manufacturers of ultra-processed foods in the world, targeting companies that have prioritized profits over public health.

Lawsuits claim these corporations have knowingly developed and marketed popular junk food products, which have become staples in many households, despite the serious health risks they pose to children.

The lawsuits allege that these companies:

  • Failed to warn families about the long-term health consequences of consuming their products regularly.
  • Engineered junk foods to be addictive by combining excessive amounts of sugar, salt, and unhealthy fats.
  • Exploited children with aggressive marketing tactics, including colorful packaging, cartoon characters, and tie-ins with toys and media.

By placing profits above transparency and safety, these junk food manufacturers have contributed to a public health crisis, including rising rates of childhood Type II diabetes (often referred to as junk food diabetes) and non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD).

Families who have suffered the consequences of these deceptive practices are now taking legal action to hold these corporations accountable and seek compensation for the harm caused.
