Addressing the politics of corporate political activity and policy interference in response to non-communicable diseases (NCDs) is a new area of scholarly research. The objective of this article is to explain how, in Mexico and Brazil, the ultra-processed foods and beverages industry succeeded in creating the political and social conditions conducive for their on-going regulatory policy influence and manipulation of scientific research. In addition to establishing partnerships within and outside of government, industry representatives have succeeded in hampering civic opposition by establishing allies within academia and society. Ministries of Health have simultaneously neglected to work closely with civil society, while legislative representatives have continued to benefit from industry campaign contributions. Findings from this article suggest that ultra-processed foods and beverages industries wield on-going regulatory policy influence in Mexico and Brazil, and that government is still not fully committed to working with civil society on these issues
