Daniel McGrath Presents on Ultra-Processed Foods Litigation and Regulation

Hinshaw partner Daniel McGrath will co-present the plenary session, “Big Food Under Fire: The Battle for America’s Health,” at the Federation of Defense & Corporate Counsel (FDCC) Annual Meeting on July 31, 2026.

Ultra-processed foods are under increasing scrutiny from regulators and plaintiffs’ attorneys. This session will examine the forces reshaping the food industry landscape, including:

• • The public health concerns that are driving regulatory and litigation pressure; 

• • How the food industry is responding to mounting challenges;

• • Lawsuits seeking to hold food companies accountable for public health impacts;

• • The future of food regulation in the United States; and

• • How US food regulation compares with Europe’s stricter standards and global implications.
