Health Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. has intensified his campaign against the food industry, targeting sugar and artificial colorings. He believes that sugar is detrimental to children's health and is advocating for the removal of petroleum-based dyes from food by 2026. While no industry representatives attended Kennedy's news conference, he claims to have an understanding with manufacturers. His broader agenda critiques ultra-processed foods for their role in obesity and suggests that public awareness will significantly increase over the next four years as reforms take place.
Kennedy's push to get food manufacturers to remove dyes from their products is his first effort at sweeping reform of the food industry.
Four years from now, we are going to have most of these products off the market, or you will know about them when you go to the grocery store.
