Ultra-Processed Foods and Childhood Illness: Seeking Justice in Gulfport, MS

At Gulf South Law Firm, PLLC, we are committed to helping individuals and families affected by the long-term health consequences of ultra-processed foods. If you or a loved one were diagnosed with Type 2 diabetes or non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) as a child, you may have a claim for compensation. Our legal team is actively investigating cases for those who meet the following criteria:

  • Diagnosis of Type 2 diabetes or NAFLD before turning 18
  • Currently under the age of 25

The Link Between Ultra-Processed Foods and Serious Health Conditions

Ultra-processed foods—such as sugary cereals, packaged snacks, fast food, and artificially flavored beverages—are increasingly linked to serious metabolic diseases. Studies have shown that these heavily processed products contribute to insulin resistance, obesity, and liver disease, particularly in children and young adults. If you or your child developed one of these conditions due to prolonged consumption of ultra-processed foods, you could have grounds for legal action.
