Dear friend,

Health and Human Services Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. says he wants to “make America healthy again.” He’s put food chemical safety in the spotlight – but protecting public health will take much more.

As the year comes to a close, this is a moment for action – not delay.

Bold words must be backed by bold action.

The ban on Red Dye No. 3 was a first step. Now it’s time to act on a dozen more toxic chemicals still allowed in our food and packaging – despite clear evidence of serious health risks, including:

Many of these chemicals have been under FDA review for years. Others are already banned (or nearly banned) in dozens of other countries. And yet they remain in the food millions of Americans eat every day.

If Secretary Kennedy is serious about protecting public health, he must move now – to ban these harmful chemicals and close the dangerous loophole that allows industry to self-certify safety.

Before 2025 ends, tell Secretary Kennedy: Keep your promise. Protect our health.

Thank you for your advocacy.
