The city of San Francisco filed the nation’s first government lawsuit against some of the largest manufacturers of ultra-processed foods on Tuesday, asserting that the 10 corporations knew the products were harming Americans’ health but continued to market them anyway.
The corporations include cereal giants Kellogg, Post Holdings and General Mills, candy makers Nestlé USA and Mars Incorporated, the soda companies behind Coca-Cola and PepsiCo, as well as Kraft Heinz Company, ConAgra Brands and Mondelēz International.
