## Executive GIST (TL;DR)
- More than 80 nutrition researchers and experts have petitioned the White House to release the federal government's proposed definition of **ultra-processed foods**. The petition follows a canceled August unveiling that industry pressure reportedly prompted. - The Food is Medicine Institute at Tufts University, led by cardiologist Dariush Mozaffarian, will present the petition to the Office of Management and Budget; the meeting is scheduled for Friday, according to the source. - Investigators reported that the Department of Health and Human Services wants the definition released before the upcoming midterms; authors noted political timing may be a factor in the administration’s decisions. - The Consumer Brands Association argued publicly that a definition could raise food prices; Mozaffarian called that position “absurd and false,” and the trade-group argument may have contributed to the White House delaying the announcement. - The source did not publish the text of the proposed definition, its methodological criteria, the agencies that drafted it beyond HHS involvement, or any regulatory actions tied to the definition. Those details were not reported in the article. - The story is a STAT+ exclusive and the full, subscriber-only reporting was not reproduced in the public portion of the source; the public text summarizes key actions, stakeholders, and timing but lacks comprehensive documentation of the draft definition itself.

The Food is Medicine Institute at Tufts University, led by cardiologist Dariush Mozaffarian, is scheduled to meet with the Office of Management and Budget on Friday to present the petition. The Department of Health and Human Services wants the definition to be released before the upcoming midterms, said Mozaffarian, who [spoke](https://www.instagram.com/p/Db4NhULFmbW/) at the HHS event where the definition was originally slated to be announced. “This is part of what the Make America Healthy Again movement that many independent voters and swing voters voted for,” Mozafarrian said. “I think HHS sees this as a win for the administration before the election to show they’re taking real action.” Advertisement On the other hand, Mozaffarian said, the Consumer Brands Association, a food industry trade group, has argued that a proposed definition will [raise food prices](https://consumerbrandsassociation.org/press-releases/consumer-brands-raises-concerns-over-flawed-attempt-at-defining-ultra-processed-food/) — a position he called “absurd and false,” but one that could make the White House nervous with midterms around the corner.
