I commend Dr. Kessler for taking steps to improve the quality and safety of the American food supply. As a developed nation, the United States faces alarmingly high rates of chronic illness and obesity, despite spending more on healthcare than any other country. This disconnect highlights the urgent need for reform in our food system.
Removing GRAS (Generally Recognized As Safe) status from certain additives would be a significant and necessary move toward protecting public health. Food manufacturers have had ample time to demonstrate the safety of these ingredients—yet where is the transparent, peer-reviewed evidence? It is time to hold companies accountable and prioritize the well-being of consumers over corporate profit.
