The “MAHA Commission,” established in an executive order, asks for a strategy to “Make Our Children Healthy Again” in about six months from now — but changes from the private sector already seem to be in motion.

According to Robert Moskow, a food industry analyst for investment bank TD Cowen, food and beverage brands will proactively start to remove artificial flavors and preservatives that they believe won’t pass new standards.

Some big-name restaurants have already publicized their health swaps. For example, the food chain Steak ‘n Shake famously announced last month that it would start cooking its fries in beef tallow. RFK has promoted beef tallow over vegetable and seed oils. …

Americans will also likely see changes at Mondelēz International, one of the largest snack companies in the world, which owns brands like Oreo, Ritz, Chips Ahoy!, Clif Bar, Cadbury, and others.

Mondelēz CEO Dirk van de Put said on Tuesday at a conference that due to pressure from RFK, the company would likely swap out some ingredients and food dyes it currently uses in favor of its European recipes. Europe has stricter standards for its food.

Van de Put added that consumers would see price hikes over the changes.

Though companies seem willing to make adjustments to items like dyes and preservatives, Moskow said there would be strong push-back over seed oils since they are so inexpensive and versatile. …
