Bernheim Kelley Injury Lawyers Actively Investigating Claims for Children & Families Harmed by UPFs & Taking New Clients Nationwide
FORT LAUDERDALE, FL – April 22, 2025 – Bernheim Kelley Injury Lawyers has announced that it is investigating claims for children suffering health complications due to the consumption of ultra-processed foods (UPFs).
Research continues to reveal startling links between UPFs and devastating health problems in children. Studies have shown that UPFs are designed to be highly palatable and addictive. This can lead to overconsumption and long-term health risks like type 2 diabetes, obesity, and non-alcoholic fatty liver disease.
Parents whose children have suffered from these life-altering health complications after routinely consuming UPFs may have the right to seek compensation and hold food manufacturers accountable through legal action.
Ultra-processed foods are industrially manufactured products that often contain high levels of sugar, salt, unhealthy fats, and artificial additives. Recent lawsuits allege that food and beverage companies knowingly engineered these products to increase cravings and dependency. Similar tactics to those used by the tobacco industry.
By combining harmful ingredients and targeting kids through marketing ploys (e.g., cartoon characters, toys, media tie-ins), profits seem to have been prioritized over the health and well-being of children.
Lawsuits have been filed against major food manufacturers, including, but not limited to, Kraft Heinz, Mondelēz International, PepsiCo, The Coca-Cola Company, Nestlé USA, and General Mills. These lawsuits allege that manufacturers deliberately concealed the health risks associated with UPFs and used deceptive marketing practices to increase consumption, particularly among children.
“As parents, we do everything in our power to keep our kids safe. You never imagine there are dangers sneaking into our homes in their food. But here we are, with many kids suffering lasting harm,” said Jesse Bernheim, CEO and Trial Attorney at Bernheim Kelley Injury Lawyers. “These families deserve answers and accountability. We are investigating these cases to help parents understand that they may have legal options.”
The health risks associated with UPFs are significant. Studies have linked high UPF consumption to increased rates of obesity, type 2 diabetes, non-alcoholic fatty liver disease, heart disease, and more. The impact has been particularly devastating for children, with rising rates of metabolic disorders and chronic illnesses once considered so rare in their age group.
“Parents have a right to know the truth about the products their children are consuming,” added Bernheim. “We’re committed to helping families hold these companies accountable. They deserve compensation. They deserve support. And by pursuing that, we can help them regain hope for their child’s future.”
Bernheim Kelley Injury Lawyers is actively investigating claims related to health complications from ultra-processed foods and is now accepting new clients. The firm offers free case evaluations to help parents understand their legal options and determine if they have a valid claim.
