RFK Jr. Unveils New ‘Transparency’ Tool That Lets You Search Chemical Contaminants In Foods

Daily Wire: The Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has unveiled a new tool that allows people to look up chemical contaminants in foods from a large database.

The database was created to give Americans more transparency and “modernize” food chemical safety, a press release from Health and Human Services (HHS) said.

“HHS is committed to radical transparency to give Americans authentic, informed consent about what they are eating,” Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. said in a statement Thursday. “This new Chemical Contaminants Transparency Tool is a critical step for industry to Make America Healthy Again.”

The tool, which can be accessed here, includes tolerances, action levels, guidance levels, derived intervention levels, recommended maximum levels, and advisory levels of contaminants. Some of the contaminants included in the database are Dichlorodiphenyltrichloroethane, or DDT, a synthetic pesticide; Chlordane, an organochlorine pesticide; and Aldrin and Dieldrin, which are both synthetic chemicals in the insecticide family. more here

  1. JMV – Not to be argumentative, but the chemical names of most vitamins are beyond the “pronunciation” skills of most people. It is outstanding that people have a robust and accurate database, but an explanation/glossary of these chemicals would also be useful. I am not a fan of additives, but if additional vitamins or minerals are being added, that might be a good thing, but people need to easily be able to know what they are reading and what it means too. Indeed, many of the chemicals on the labels should NEVER be ingested because of their dangers.
