I've seen multiple ultra-processed foods (with which meal replacement shakes are often grouped) topics in unrelated places.

Was there some big study or government guidance that was changed recently?

Probably spamming their media contacts and trying to spend down their Q3/Q4 PR budgets

Maybe. But I did see the UK recently published something related so I'm wondering if there was some recent guidance push in the US as well.
