In a private meeting with top executives from major food companies, Kennedy issued a stern ultimatum: remove these harmful ingredients or face government action.
Kennedy met with leaders from giants like PepsiCo, General Mills, and Kraft Heinz on March 10, 2025.
His message was crystal clear: it’s time for the food industry to align with healthier standards by removing synthetic colorings.
This bold strategy seeks to protect consumers and ensure food safety, signaling a significant shift in public health policy.
The administration’s priority is to eliminate FD&C colors, notorious for their potential health risks.
Melissa Hockstad, President of the Consumer Brands Association, confirmed Kennedy’s firm stance: “The Secretary made clear his intention to take action unless the industry is willing to be proactive with solutions.”
Kennedy’s determination highlights the urgency to remove harmful dyes within his term, compelling the FDA to act accordingly, ABC News reports.
“He expects ‘real and transformative’ change by ‘getting the worst ingredients out’ of food,” Hockstad added, cited by Politico.
The efforts align with the Make America Healthy Again agenda, a comprehensive plan to eliminate harmful food ingredients.
Kennedy is rallying support from Congress for these monumental changes.
States like California are setting a precedent by advancing legislation to ban specific food additives, indicating nationwide momentum is building for healthier food policies.
The food industry, acknowledging the benefits, is willing to collaborate with the administration.
As the FDA plans to establish a cohesive federal framework, Kennedy’s push might finally allow America to move beyond current patchwork state regulations.
Hockstad stated, “recognized the industry can’t do this alone and that the FDA will step up and work with us to reinforce the need for a federal framework and avoid state patchworks.”
This initiative represents a pivotal shift in America’s approach to food safety and public health.
With Kennedy at the helm, the push for transparency and healthier alternatives gains formidable momentum.
All eyes are now on the food industry’s next moves and the government’s readiness to enforce enduring changes.
