  • Regulation of Added Substances in the Food Supply by the Food and Drug Administration Human Foods Program

    Jennifer L Pomeranz, Emily M Broad Leib et al.•ARTICLE•American Journal of Public Health•2024•Citada por: 2•Referências: 9

    The US food supply is increasingly associated with diet-related diseases, toxicity, cancer, and other health harms. These public health concerns are partly attributable to a loophole in federal law. The Food and Drug Administration (FDA) evaluates the premarket safety of ingredients regulated as food additives but allows the food industry to self-regulate and determine which substances to classify as generally recognized as safe (GRAS) based on u…

  • Opportunities to address the failure of online food retailers to ensure access to required food labelling information in the USA

    Open Access•Jennifer L Pomeranz, Sean B Cash et al.•ARTICLE•Public Health Nutrition•2022

    Objective: The rapid growth in web-based grocery food purchasing has outpaced federal regulatory attention to the online provision of nutrition and allergen information historically required on food product labels. We sought to characterise the extent and variability that online retailers disclose required and regulated information and identify the legal authorities for the federal government to require online food retailers to disclose such info…

  • Infant formula and toddler milk marketing and caregiver's provision to young children

    Open Access•Maria Jose Romo‐Palafox, Jennifer L Pomeranz et al.•ARTICLE•Maternal and Child Nutrition•2020

    The World Health Organization International Code of Marketing of Breast-milk Substitutes prohibits claims and other marketing that may confuse caregivers about benefits of formula and other milk-based drinks for infants and toddlers, but such marketing is common in the United States. This study assessed caregivers' provision of milk-based products to their infants and toddlers and potential confusion about product benefits and appropriate use. On…

  • Marketing to Children in Supermarkets

    Open Access•Jennifer L Harris, Victoria L Webb et al.•ARTICLE•International Journal of…•2020

    Public health experts worldwide are calling for a reduction of the marketing of nutrient-poor food and beverages to children. However, industry self-regulation and most government policies do not address in-store marketing, including shelf placement and retail promotions. This paper reports two U.S.-based studies examining the prevalence and potential impact of in-store marketing for nutrient-poor child-targeted products. Study 1 compares the in-…

    The Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP) provides funding to low-income households to purchase food at participating stores. The goals of the program include reducing hunger, improving nutrition, and strengthening the US food system. These are interrelated, as food access and choice depend on availability. SNAP generates data that could be useful for program evaluation and evidence-based policymaking to reach public health goals. Howe…

    Jennifer L Pomeranz•ARTICLE•American Journal of Public Health•2019•Referências: 3

    In 2018, the US Supreme Court analyzed a California state requirement that clinics serving pregnant women must provide government notices—1 for licensed clinics about the availability of state health services including abortion and 1 for unlicensed clinics, notifying potential clients that the clinics are not licensed medical facilities and have no licensed medical professionals on-site. The Supreme Court found that both notices violated the Firs…

  • State Preemption

    Jennifer L Pomeranz, Mark Pertschuk•ARTICLE•American Journal of Public Health•2017•Citada por: 22•Referências: 4

    State and local governments traditionally protect the health and safety of their populations more strenuously than does the federal government. Preemption, when a higher level of government restricts or withdraws the authority of a lower level of government to act on a particular issue, was historically used as a point of negotiation in the legislative process. More recently, however, 3 new preemption-related issues have emerged that have direct …

  • The Interplay of Public Health Law and Industry Self-Regulation

    Michelle M Mello, Jennifer L Pomeranz et al.•ARTICLE•American Journal of Public Health•2008•Citada por: 10•Referências: 19

    It is increasingly recognized that sugar-sweetened beverage consumption contributes to childhood obesity. Most states have adopted laws that regulate the availability of sugar-sweetened beverages in school settings. However, such policies have encountered resistance from consumer and parent groups, as well as the beverage industry. The beverage industry’s recent adoption of voluntary guidelines, which call for the curtailment of sugar-sweetened b…

  • Legal and Public Health Considerations Affecting the Success, Reach, and Impact of Menu-Labeling Laws

    Jennifer L Pomeranz, Kelly D Brownell•ARTICLE•American Journal of Public Health•2008•Citada por: 9•Referências: 7

    Because the rate of consumption of away-from-home meals has increased dramatically, the distinction between requiring nutrition information for packaged but not restaurant products is no longer reasonable. Public health necessitates that nutrition labels must be included with restaurant menus as a strategy to educate consumers and address the escalation of obesity. Menu-labeling laws are being considered at the local, state, and federal levels, b…

    Jennifer L Pomeranz•ARTICLE•American Journal of Public Health•2015•Citada por: 5•Referências: 6

    US state and local governments are debating sugar-sweetened beverage excise taxes to support public health. A related issue is whether such taxes would apply to beverage purchases made by Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP) participants. Federal law proscribes states from collecting excise taxes on SNAP purchases, but the law is confined to taxes at the point of sale. I provide legal analysis and recommendations for policymakers to e…

    The United States has 51 state health departments and thousands of local health agencies. Their size, structure, and authority differ, but they all possess unique abilities to address obesity. Because they are responsible for public health, they can take various steps themselves and can coordinate efforts with other agencies to further health in all policy domains.

    Excise taxes on sugary beverages have been proposed as a method to replicate the public health success of tobacco control and to generate revenue. As policymakers increase efforts to pass sugary beverage taxes, they can anticipate that manufacturers will emulate the strategies employed by tobacco companies in their attempts to counteract the impact of such taxes. Policymakers should therefore consider 2 complementary laws—minimum price laws and p…

  • Public Health and Legal Arguments in Favor of a Policy to Cap the Portion Sizes of Sugar-Sweetened Beverages

    In 2012, the New York City Board of Health passed a regulation prohibiting the sale of sugar-sweetened beverages in containers above 16 ounces in the city’s food service establishments. The beverage industry and various retailers sued the city to prevent enforcement of the law, arguing that the board had overstepped its authority. In June 2014, the state’s highest court agreed and struck down the regulation. Here we report the results of a conten…

    Jennifer L Pomeranz, Mark Pertschuk•ARTICLE•American Journal of Public Health•2017•Citada por: 22•Referências: 4

    State and local governments traditionally protect the health and safety of their populations more strenuously than does the federal government. Preemption, when a higher level of government restricts or withdraws the authority of a lower level of government to act on a particular issue, was historically used as a point of negotiation in the legislative process. More recently, however, 3 new preemption-related issues have emerged that have direct …

Several states and the federal government have proposed or enacted laws that permit residents to discriminate against…
