Kennedy Jr. escalated his war against the food industry on Tuesday, declaring that \u201csugar is poison.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">Mr. Kennedy\u2019s comment came during a highly publicized news conference where he also asserted that he has \u201can understanding\u201d with major food manufacturers to remove petroleum-based food colorings from their products by 2026.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">No one from the food industry attended the event, and none have publicly agreed to Mr. Kennedy\u2019s demands, although the International Dairy Foods Association has pledged to eliminate artificial colors in milk, cheese and yogurt sold to schools as part of the federal lunch and breakfast programs by the start of the 2026 school year.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">However, Mr. Kennedy and his advisers said that every major food manufacturer and some fast-food companies have contacted the agency looking for guidance.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<aside class=\"css-ew4tgv\" aria-label=\"companion column\"\/><\/div>\n<div data-testid=\"companionColumn-1\">\n<div class=\"css-53u6y8\">\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">\u201cFour years from now, we are going to have most of these products off the market, or you will know about them when you go to the grocery store,\u201d Mr. Kennedy said.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">Mr. Kennedy\u2019s push to get food manufacturers to remove dyes from their products is his first effort at sweeping reform of the food industry, which he has long blamed for creating and marketing ultra-processed foods that he says are making Americans obese and contributing to a host of diseases, including diabetes and heart disease.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">He ratcheted up his campaign with the remark about sugar, lamenting that government agencies recommend \u201ca huge amount of sugar\u201d for children, \u201cand it\u2019s hurting them, and it\u2019s addicting them, and it\u2019s changing their taste buds.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">The Food and Drug Administration recommends that added sugar \u2014 sugar that is not found naturally in foods, including fruit \u2014 account for no more than 10 percent of the diet for both children and adults.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">\u201cSugar is poison,\u201d Mr. Kennedy said, \u201cand Americans need to know that it\u2019s poison.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">Critics of Mr. Kennedy say that while his goal of making the food supply healthier is laudable, the cuts he is making to scientific research grants, coupled with <a class=\"css-yywogo\" href=\"https:\/\/www.nytimes.com\/2025\/04\/01\/us\/politics\/trump-federal-layoffs-health-food.html\" title=\"\">significant staff reductions at agencies like the F.D.A. and the National Institutes for Health<\/a>, will hinder his efforts.
