# Donnelly McDowell Quoted on Ultra-Processed Foods Policy

 January 30, 2026

 

 

 

 

 

 

Partner and Advertising and Marketing practice chair [Donnelly McDowell](https://www.kelleydrye.com/people/donnelly-l-mcdowell) was quoted by *Chemical and Engineering News* in their article, ​“US Ultraprocessed Food Policy Accelerates with Bipartisan Support.” The article covers the increased interest for federal and state regulation related to the manufacture and marketing of ultra-processed foods. This increased scrutiny over food manufacturing is in part because of the Make America Healthy Again (MAHA) movement, headed by the Trump Administration and United States Health and Human Services Secretary Robert F. Kennedy, Jr., though both red and blue states are also focused on curbing the consumption of these ultra-processed foods.

“If you’re an ingredient manufacturer or an advertiser or a food manufacturer or processor, there are things that you need to be monitoring both on the state and federal level,” Donnelly says.
