By
Travis Gettys
Summary
Health Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr.'s campaign to crack down on the "generally recognized as safe" (GRAS) loophole in food regulation is raising concerns among food industry experts and consumer advocates alike. While Kennedy aims to close what he sees as a regulatory failure allowing companies to self-determine ingredient safety without FDA oversight, critics warn the effort could create chaos by disrupting the food supply chain, creating legal uncertainty, and potentially leading to unintended consequences. The article highlights the tension between Kennedy's public health goals and the practical complexities of overhauling a long-standing regulatory system.
