Robert F. Kennedy Jr. is taking a bold stand against corporate influence in America’s food supply, directing the FDA to eliminate a dangerous loophole that allows companies to self-approve ingredients without proper oversight.
“For too long, powerful corporations have flooded our food with unregulated chemicals and additives, exploiting a system designed to protect them instead of the public,” Kennedy declared. “The American people deserve transparency, accountability, and real safety standards—not rubber-stamped approvals from the very companies profiting off these substances.”
Currently, food manufacturers can bypass FDA review by self-affirming that their ingredients are safe. Kennedy’s move would force companies to publicly notify the FDA and submit safety data for scrutiny, ensuring a stronger review process and giving Americans more control over what they consume.
This initiative is part of Kennedy’s broader mission to tackle the chronic illness epidemic linked to poor food quality and toxic ingredients. His alliance with President Donald Trump on this issue signals a bipartisan push to prioritize public health over corporate greed.
The FDA, under Acting Commissioner Sara Brenner, has voiced support for strengthening food safety regulations, though major food giants like PepsiCo, General Mills, and Kraft Heinz have yet to comment. Kennedy’s leadership is a clear challenge to Big Food’s unchecked influence—a fight for the health and well-being of every American.
