West Virginia Attorney General’s Office: Consumer Protection and Ultra-Processed Foods
February 2, 2026 from 2:00 pm to 3:00 pm (EST)
Please join us for a webinar featuring special guest speakers:
- Jace Goins, Chief Deputy
- Ann Haight, Director, Consumer Protection and Antitrust Division
- Abby Cunningham, Assistant Attorney General, Consumer Protection and Antitrust Division
They will be joined by Kelley Drye State Attorneys General Practice Chair Paul Singer, Advertising and Marketing Chair Donnelly McDowell, Special Counsel Abby Stempson, and Associate Andrea deLorimier. The guest speakers will share insights into West Virginia’s current consumer protection priorities and examine the state’s new law targeting certain ultra-processed foods and food ingredients, along with its implications for consumer protection enforcement. They will also discuss how this law, and similar measures targeting ultra-processed foods, operate at the intersection of public health and consumer protection. The guest speakers will explain how these laws are designed to improve public health outcomes by reducing exposure to harmful ingredients while simultaneously creating enforceable standards that help regulators identify unfair or deceptive practices in the marketing and sale of food products.
