As RFK Crusades to ‘Make America Healthy,’ FDA Suspends Milk Quality Tests

Robert F. Kennedy Jr.'s efforts to enhance public health under his leadership at HHS have been overshadowed by cuts that have weakened food safety standards. The FDA has suspended critical testing programs like the proficiency testing for Grade "A" milk, which ensures compliance with federal standards and protects consumers from unsafe dairy products. These cuts follow workforce reductions aimed at improving efficiency as part of Trump's administration's broader strategy to shrink government size. Additionally, RFK Jr. has been focused on unconventional initiatives such as an autism study and modifying French fries, further complicating the agency's mission.
