<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Health and Human Services (HHS) Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. issued a response to Democrat Massachusetts Governor Maura Healey, who was defending New England favorite Dunkin&#8217; from the ire of MAHA.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">The exchange came after Kennedy Jr. took aim at Dunkin&#8217; during a rally last week at Brazos Hall in Austin, Texas.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">“We’re going to ask Dunkin’ Donuts and Starbucks, ‘Show us the safety data that show that it’s OK for a teenage girl to drink an iced coffee with 115 grams of sugar in it,&#8217;” RFK Jr. said at the time. “I don’t think they’re going to be able to do it.”</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">“No one is taking away your Dunkin&#8217;. But isn&#8217;t it reasonable to ask whether a drink loaded with 180 grams of sugar is safe?” RFK Jr. wrote in response to Healey’s tweet, which included an illustration of a Dunkin’ beverage cup and text beneath it saying, “Come and take it.”</span></p>

<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">His position was further clarified after the rally.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">“Secretary Kennedy also announced the closure of the GRAS (generally recognized as safe) loophole, requiring any new food ingredient to provide proof of safety,” MAHA Action, a Kennedy-aligned nonprofit, said in a statement </span><a href="https://www.prnewswire.com/news-releases/hhs-secretary-kennedy-announces-nutrition-requirements-for-medical-licensing-baby-formula-safety-standards-at-austin-rally-for-real-food-302701305.html"><span style="font-weight: 400;">posted</span></a><span style="font-weight: 400;"> on Monday. </span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">“Companies including Dunkin&#8217; Donuts and Starbucks will be required to produce safety data they were supposed to have maintained. The reforms aim to ensure American foods follow the highest safety and nutritional standards globally.”</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">RFK Jr. railed against the GRAS loophole during a “60 Minutes” appearance last month.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">“That loophole was hijacked by the industry, and it was used to add thousands upon thousands of new ingredients into our food supply,” Kennedy said at the time. “In Europe there’s only 400 legal ingredients. This agency does not know how many ingredients there are in American food.”</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">“There is…no way for any American to know if a product is safe if it is ultra processed,” he added.</span></p>
