SUING FOOD COMPANIES OVER THEIR LIES & MISREPRESENTATIONS
The TRUTH about Food and Travel
Original Broadcast Date: 7/08/24 With the Supreme Court's "Chevron Decision" our relationship with government agencies is about to change. With one decision, SCOTUS has eliminated decades of government and bureaucratic overreach. Gone too are the protections given to businesses that violate the public trust that the foods we are eating are safe, and accurately being advertised and marketed. Stuart Sheehan is a ew York City attorney who's become famous for his legal battles against major food manufacturers. His practice is focused on the widespread issue of misrepresentation in food labeling and marketing. Sheehan's lawsuits target misleading claims about product ingredients, nutritional value, and health benefits, which he and his clients claim are deceiving customers and violate consumer protection laws. Attorney Sheehan accepts cases representing clients who believe manufacturers have exaggerated their claims about products being "natural," "organic," or "free from artificial ingredients," when in reality, these products often contain additives, preservatives, and genetically modified organisms. In this Food and Travel Nation exclusive interview, Sheehan discusses how these deceptive practices not only undermine consumer trust but also impact public health by encouraging unhealthy eating habits. His legal efforts aim to hold companies accountable and push for more transparent labeling practices. He emphasizes the importance of consumer awareness and advocacy, urging individuals to scrutinize labels and demand truthful information about the foods they consume. ###
