RFK Jr. plans to eliminate GRAS food standards for most products

[noumoe]

Health and Human Services Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. announced Thursday his intention to eliminate the Generally Recognized As Safe standards for most domestic products.

“We’ve launched a review of the GRAS standards, and we’re going to get rid of the GRAS standards for most products,” Kennedy told Fox News. “The GRAS standards is a standard that was adopted in 1958. It was adopted because, when FDA was created to regulate food, there were foods that were generally recognized as safe.”

According to Kennedy, these included flour, dairy products, and eggs, and the government did not want to force companies to test them. However, the GRAS standard has since been corrupted.
