SUMMARY:Regulating Ultra-processed Foods: Lessons from San Francisco and Beyond
DESCRIPTION:The CUNY Urban Food Policy Institute will host an online forum event on February 12\, 2026\, from 2pm – 3pm ET\, examining the high-profile lawsuit brought by the City of San Francisco against manufacturers of ultra-processed foods and its broader implications for public health policy. \nFeaturing legal\, public health\, and policy experts\, the forum will explore how litigation may shape future approaches to regulating ultra-processed foods at the local\, national\, and global levels. The discussion will consider accountability\, regulatory authority\, and lessons from related policy efforts in the United States and internationally. \nThe event will be moderated by CUNY SPH Professor Dr. Jen Cadenhead and will include San Francisco City Attorney David Chiu\, Professor Jennifer Pomeranz (NYU)\, and Mikateko Mafuyeka (GHAI). \nModerator:\nJennifer Cadenhead\, PhD\, RD\, Assistant Professor\, Environmental\, Occupational\, and Geospatial Health Sciences\, CUNY SPH \nPanelists: \n\nDavid Chiu\, JD\, MPP\, City Attorney of San Francisco\nJennifer L.
