Description

In this episode of the Orange Pill Podcast, we dive into Health Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr.’s aggressive push to dismantle the GRAS (“Generally Recognized as Safe”) pathway — a move that’s shaking up both Big Food and the supplement industry.


We explore:



  • The origins and exploitation of the GRAS "loophole"

  • Why ultraprocessed foods are in the crosshairs

  • What this crackdown means for dietary supplements

  • Former FDA Commissioner David Kessler’s bold citizen petition

  • Whether this is a turning point in U.S. food safety policy


With bipartisan momentum and industry backlash mounting, is this the beginning of the end for self-certified food additives?
