A 64-page San Francisco lawsuit has been filed against 10 companies producing highly processed food.

The lawsuit targets Kraft Heinz Company, Post Holdings, The Coca-Cola Company, PepsiCo, General Mills, Nestle USA, Kellogg, Mars Incorporated, and others, accusing these companies of using harmful practices, such as making these products addictive in nature.
