The practice known as “generally recognized as safe” permits companies to self-certify the safety of specific food chemicals or substances without stringent government oversight. This has been a concern for many in health circles.
Health Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. is prioritizing the overhaul of this loophole. He plans to reveal a strategy addressing this issue on Monday. This plan seeks to change how food companies introduce certain chemicals into their products without notifying national food regulators.
The forthcoming announcement was shared by three people familiar with Kennedy’s agenda. These individuals have opted to remain anonymous as the details of the plan have yet to be made public.
