Onetime presidential candidate Robert F. Kennedy Jr., who is now vying for a spot in President-elect Donald Trump’s Cabinet, said Wednesday the nutrition departments of the Food and Drug Administration “have to go” because the departments are “not doing their job, not protecting our kids.”

“Why do we have Froot Loops in this country that have 18 or 19 ingredients and you go to Canada and it’s got two or three,” the former presidential candidate said in an interview on MSNBC, one day after Trump was elected the 47th president.

Kellogg’s website lists more than 20 ingredients in its Canadian product. The main difference between the two seems to be the kind of dyes used in the colorful fruit-flavored cereal. In March, Kellogg investor Jason Karp, founder of holding company HumanCo, sent a letter to Kellogg alleging that Froot Loops in America had “harmful artificial dyes,” while Froot Loops in Canada didn’t. He called for the company to change its U.S. recipe.

Kennedy said that as long as it takes congressional approval to eliminate government agencies, he wouldn’t push to eliminate them. He said he believes he can take the “corruption” out of them instead.

“Once they’re not corrupt, once Americans are getting good signs and they’re allowed to make their own choices, they’re going to get a lot healthier,” he said.

The FDA did not immediately respond to a request for comment.

Trump has said that he would offer Kennedy a role in his administration, and on “The Joe Rogan Podcast,” Trump said that he told Kennedy he could “focus on health, you can do whatever you want.”
