Yoghurt at risk? RFK Jr.'s food fight shakes up the industry.
Robert F. Kennedy Jr. is aggressively targeting ultra-processed foods. His campaign aims to reduce their consumption significantly. This includes everyday items like yogurt and packaged snacks. Experts estimate that nearly 60% of packaged foods fall into this category.
Major food manufacturers are reportedly feeling the pressure. Privately, companies express concern over potential sales declines. Publicly, responses have been muted, according to Politico.
Kennedy's efforts are gaining traction, with some states considering limitations. This shift reflects growing consumer awareness of processed food's impact. States are now exploring ways to restrict these products.
How will this impact your grocery shopping? The debate over ultra-processed foods is just beginning, and changes are likely coming.
