In this week’s Working Lunch, Joe Kefauver and Franklin Coley of Align Public Strategies updated their listeners on the newly proposed definition of ultra-processed foods recently submitted by the FDA and USDA.
Working Lunch caught up with Maggie Gentile, a partner at Food Directions, who said that it is a challenge for a MAHA-centric federal government that wants consumers to eat fewer processed foods when there is no standard definition available.
Plus, Kefauver and Coley discuss $18 billion settlement over children’s social media addiction and how it could impact social media marketing for businesses — including restaurants — down the line.
Working Lunch wraps it up by discussing New York City Mayor Mamdani’s appointment of a business council and the National Labor Relations Board revisiting some union cases.
