Secretaries Kennedy and Rollins highlight the effort to transform the food system and increase transparency in food ingredients.
Health and Human Services (HHS) Secretary Robert F. Kennedy, Jr., and U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) Secretary Brooke Rollins announced actions to modernize federal oversight of food ingredients on Monday. The moves also seek to establish a stronger scientific basis for nutrition policy.
“Nearly 60% of the American diet is made up of ultra-processed foods, and childhood obesity now affects more than one in five American children,” said Secretary Kennedy. “We cannot reverse America’s chronic disease epidemic without transforming our food system. These historic actions bring greater transparency to what’s in our food and stronger science to federal nutrition policy.”
“Secretary Kennedy has brought renewed attention to the food all Americans have been eating, and this action will bring greater transparency for consumers choosing their ingredients,” said Secretary Rollins. “Our nation’s farmers and ranchers are at the frontline in the MAHA mission, and we will continue to put real, healthy food at the top of the agenda every day in the Trump Administration.”
