Update: 2025-08-07
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?
