Health Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. has intensified his campaign against the food industry by labeling sugar as "poison" and pushing for the removal of petroleum-based colorings in food products by 2026. Despite lack of industry support at his announcement, the International Dairy Foods Association committed to eliminating artificial colors in certain products. Kennedy claims that major food companies are seeking guidance on these issues. This marks his initiative towards broader food industry reforms, as he attributes the rise of ultra-processed foods to obesity and health issues in America.
