HHS Secretary RFK Jr. has just announced a big reform to an FDA rule that governs what is allowed in our food supply.

In short, he’s asking the FDA to eliminate the GRAS rule, which means “Generally Recognized as Safe”. This rule is the equivalent of ‘innocent until proven guilty’, or he says, ‘presumed safe until proven dangerous’.

He explains it all below:

I am directing the FDA commissioner to start the process of changing the rules to eliminate the self-affirmed GRAS pathway for new ingredients. I am also calling on the @US_FDA and @NIH continue to conduct and improve post-market assessments of GRAS chemicals currently in our food so we can rapidly identify the compounds that are making Americans so sick, and so that American consumers and regulators can make informed decisions. This is an important step in our pursuit to Make America Healthy Again.
