Dr. Mark Siegel, a senior medical analyst at Fox News, has considered RFK Jr.'s efforts to make the United States healthier because he targets sugar and food colors and his potential decision to release COVID vaccines for children.
The increasing number of famous food products, from beverages to cereals, are corrected as part of the commitment Made by the main food giants To eliminate artificial colors and use cleansers.
General Mills and Kraft Heinz, two largest food producers in the world, committed last week to remove all artificial colors from the US securities by the end of 2027. These movements were made among the Trump administration's contacts to make it more transparent than its food and ensure food security in food. The Food and Drug Administration (FDA) announced in May that it is starting a more powerful checkout for food chemicals currently on the market.
Consumable colors are known as FD&C colors and are labeled as packages because the color additive is approved by the FDA for use in food, drugs and cosmetics. They are under a precise approval system under the Federal Food, Drugs and Cosmetics Act (FD & C law).
Health and Human Services Minister Robert F. Since its adoption, Kennedy Jr. has been trying to reduce the colors of US food, stating that “some food producers have been feeding oil -based chemicals for a long time.” He also said that these “toxic compounds have no nutritional benefits and create real and measurable risks to the health and development of our children.”
