We take the opportunity here to expand on why we think this greater visibility is crucial and overdue. In particular, we want to describe how a particular focus on harmful product manufacturers, as a subsection within commercial actors, is worthy of inclusion as a meso-level influence. This is an area in which clear policy lever points, evidence and public opinion combine and have the potential for significant public health benefits.
