FDA To Speed up U.S. Food Chemical Reviews
(The Center Square) – The U.S. Food and Drug Administration announced Friday the launch of an updated systematic review process for chemicals already in the American food supply.

As part of the process, the agency will expedite the analyses of chemicals already under review, including phthalates, propylparaben, and titanium dioxide. It will also add more chemicals, including BHA, BHT, and ADA to the review list and institute a final, post-market review process “shaped by stakeholder input.”
“We are prioritizing our resources and leveraging gold standard science to create, for the first time, a systematic post-market review program that consumers can trust and rely on,” FDA Commissioner Martin Makary said. “Only by improving the safety and transparency of the food supply and ensuring consumers can make healthful food choices will we overcome the long-standing trajectory of chronic diseases.”
The move is part of an increased oversight effort by U.S. Health and Human Services of chemicals present in the nation’s food supply, many of which have never been properly studied for safety and some of which are banned in the European Union.
Health and environmental activists have sounded the alarm for decades over the enormous leeway the FDA gives to American chemical companies who profit from adding their products to a host of consumer goods, including cosmetics and food.
Since 1958, the FDA has relied on a voluntary disclosure system where corporations are allowed to self-identify their chemical products as “generally recognized as safe,” or GRAS, without having to conduct rigorous safety testing or agency approval before the chemicals are released on the market and ingested by the public.
The FDA’s Friday announcement follows an announcement made March 10 by HHS that the agency is revisiting the GRAS final rule for potential reform. Three of the new chemicals that the FDA will study — BHA, BHT, and ADA — all currently classified as GRAS and present in many foods.
BHA and BHT are added to foods like cereal as a preservative and food oils to keep them from going rancid. They are also used to treat genital herpes. BHA caused tumor growth in multiple animal studies and is a suspected human carcinogen, while BHT damaged the liver and kidneys in animal studies.
ADA, or azodicarbonamide, is added to flour and bread as a whitening agent or dough conditioner, respectively. It is also used to make yoga mats and foam insulation. ADA fully breaks down into the chemicals semicarbazide and urethane, both suspected carcinogens.
All three chemicals are banned in the EU.
“No parent should ever worry about what’s in their child’s food,” HHS Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. said Friday. “We’re taking decisive action and using every authority we have to clean up the food supply and protect American families.”

Dear Lord Jesus, We come before You with gratitude for giving the Trump Administration courage to Speed Up U.S. Food Chemical Reviews and Make America Healthy Again. For so long, our nation has been burdened by sickness, not just in body, but also in system. Because our healthcare system is failing everyday Americans, such as Food makes people sick; Insurance is expensive and confusing; And Pharmaceutical companies profit from long-term disease instead of cures. The American healthcare system turned into a sick care system. Lord, please strengthen President Trump and others to stand against the establishment’s corruption, deception and brokenness. Tear down the strongholds of greed, lies, and special interests that have made health a business, not a blessing. Let wisdom rise above politics. Truth silence manipulation. Guide our leaders to build a health care system that protects people, honors life, and serves all. Lord, Please heal our land. Cleanse our government. And raise up those with courage to restore justice, health, and hope in America. In Jesus name. Amen
Thank you for this beautiful prayer!
I stand in agreement with you, only adding the petition for YHWH TZVA’OT, God of the Armies to give the COMMAND and DISPATCH Strike Force Angelic Battalions to ENCAMP around about Robert F Kennedy Jr, all the MAHA staff and their families (especially as they come up against “Big PHARMA”.)
Yeshua, You neither slumber nor sleep (Ps 121:8), so please
Dispatch Ps.103:20 angels,
Ps 34 angels,
Ps 35:5-6– for angels to drive away any potential attackers or plots against them as well as driving demonic attacks and witchcraft against MAHA far away from them like chaff in the wind.💨 💨💨💨
GUARD them to the E, S, W, N for the sake of increasing healing and health in our nation and for the GLORY OF YOUR NAME–“for BY YOUR STRIPES we are HEALED” (Is 53:5) and we have been promised NO weapon formed against us shall prosper–including food contaminants–for we CONDEMN IT now in YHWH’s Name as is our Heritage and we thus await our PROMISED VINDICATION, in the fulfillment of this WORD, for NO WORD of YOURS returns null or void but it accomplishes that for which it was sent forth!(Is 54:17, Is 55:11)
As it is written,
As it is PROMISED that in UNITY the BLESSING is COMMANDED (PS 133), so LET it be DONE in Yeshua’s Name!
Amen 🙏
Amen 🙏
Thank you, Father, for RFK and what he doing for our nation in our food. Give him strength and favor and wisdom. Protect him as he does what he needs to do.
Lord, we pray that the corruption for financial gain in America would be stopped and criminalized. We ask you to make our food supply healthy. Protect us from evil people who do not have our best interests at heart. Also, we forgive our government for all the harm they’ve done. We ask you to stop it. We leave it in your hands.
I’m a typical American dummy. If it’s on the shelf I’ll buy it and feed it to my family. I’ll buy the cereal my grandkids pick out and the softest bread.
Thanks Sec. Kennedy for watching out for us that are TOO trusting.
Father we pray daily for YOUR intervention into this new government which is making the decisions today. In our Savior Jesus name we pray and believe.. Amen and Hallelujah
