Kennedy’s Plan Falls Flat

Health Secretary Kennedy says the FDA will ‘act on’ a request to close a loophole on food safety, but don’t hold your breath. It’s a vague promise that won’t lead to actual regulation of ultraprocessed foods.

A Former Commissioner Speaks Out

A former FDA commissioner asked the agency to take action, and Kennedy’s response is underwhelming. It’s a classic case of talking the talk without walking the walk. The FDA won’t regulate these foods, and that’s a problem. Kennedy’s statement is a cop-out, and it’s clear the administration won’t take real action on this issue.
