THENATIONALPULSE (Pulse Wires) - MAHA: RFK Jr. Moves to Close Loophole Letting Unapproved Chemicals Into Food Supply.

Health Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. has announced a plan to close a decades-old loophole that has allowed food companies to add certain chemicals to products without notifying federal regulators.

PULSE POINTS WHAT HAPPENED: Robert F.

DETAIL: Under the current system, companies can add ingredients such as preservatives, emulsifiers, and low-calorie sweeteners to ultra-processed foods without informing the FDA. The new proposal mandates notification and would give the agency 45 days for an initial review and 180 days for a more substantive one. Companies would still be allowed to use the substances while the process is…Open

Robert F. Kennedy Jr. stated, “Industry hijacked the loophole and drove a convoy of chemical trucks through it straight into the American food supply.” He framed the move to close this loophole as part of the Make America Healthy Again (MAHA) agenda.

What are the specific review timelines outlined in the new proposal to close the GRAS loophole?
