RFK Jr. will act on legal challenge to ultra-processed foods

Well being secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. fired the beginning gun in a problem to the meals trade on Sunday, asserting on CBS’ “60 Minutes” that he plans to behave on a plan outlined by former Meals and Drug Administration chief David Kessler to overtake ultra-processed meals.

“We’ll act on David Kessler’s petition,” Kennedy stated on “60 Minutes.” “And the questions that he’s asking are questions that FDA ought to’ve been asking a protracted, very long time in the past.” 

It’s not but clear when Kennedy will launch his formal response to the citizen petition filed by Kessler, or what the letter will say. That leaves most of the particulars of his plans unsure, together with the timeline.
