In case you missed it, Department of Health and Human Services Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. and former Food and Drug Administration (FDA) Commissioner David Kessler appeared on 60 Minutes this past Saturday, February 15, in a segment titled “Generally Recognized as Safe.” As the title suggests, the conversation centered on FDA’s Generally Recognized as Safe (GRAS) regulatory pathway (for background, see our prior post discussing in more detail the GRAS process), as well as Commissioner Kessler’s August 2025 citizen petition urging FDA to revoke the GRAS status of refined carbohydrates used in industrial food processing (discussed in more detail in our earlier coverage of the petition).
