RFK Jr. wants to completely remove the FDA’s food additive program as part of MAHA campaign
American Minister of Health and Humanitarian Services, Robert F. Kennedy JuniorThe US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) directed a review Generally recognized materials as a safe rule (GRAS) In an attempt to increase the supervision of specific food ingredients and increase the transparency of food.
“For a very long time, the manufacturers and sponsors of the components used a loophole that allowed new chemical components and materials, often with unknown safety data, in the American food supply without notifying the FDA,” Kennedy said in A. The last statement. “The elimination of this vulnerability will provide transparency for consumers, and to help restore food supplies in our nation by ensuring that the ingredients that are inserted into foods are safe, and in the end it makes America healthy again.”
Currently, the Food and Drug Administration “strongly encourages” to provide GRAS notifications that reveal the components and safe materials for use, the Ministry of Health and Humanitarian Services specified in a press statement. However, manufacturers can also confirm the use of a substance without notifying food and drugs management.
The department added that removing the GRAS “requires companies that seek to provide new food ingredients to notify the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) publicly by using the intended use of these components, as well as basic safety data, before providing them with food supply.”
The latest initiative comes after the FDA proposed a new condition in January to include nutritional stickers at the front of the bottom foods and drinks. It is called the “Nutrition Information box”, and the signs mode system in detail saturated fat, sodium and added sugars. It will also accompany the feed facts mark in the agency.
