RFK Jr. Launches New FDA Tool to Expose Chemical Contaminants in Food

In a major step toward cutting through government red tape and giving Americans the truth about what’s in their food, Robert F. Kennedy Jr. has unveiled a new initiative aimed at "radical transparency." The FDA, under Kennedy’s leadership, just released a tool that allows users to search chemical contaminants found in food products across the U.S. food supply chain.

For decades, the federal government has allowed chemical additives, pesticides, and industrial residues to quietly slip into our food without the public ever really knowing. That changes now.

• The new Chemical Contaminants Transparency Tool provides access to a massive database of substances found in our food, including dangerous compounds like DDT, Chlordane, Aldrin, and Dieldrin banned or restricted in many parts of the world due to their toxicity.

• The tool outlines tolerance levels, guidance, advisory notices, and action levels a detailed breakdown of just how much of these contaminants are permitted in various foods.

• It’s not just theoretical. These are real chemicals still present in everything from grains to dairy some of the very staples of the American diet.

According to acting FDA Commissioner Sara Brenner, contamination is often the byproduct of modern farming and storage methods. In other words, these toxic substances are being absorbed by the foods we’re told to eat daily. And while the official line continues to be “eat a variety,” the real question is: why are these contaminants still allowed at all?

Let’s put this in perspective:

• A recent study published in Environmental Health found that over 90% of Americans have detectable levels of pesticides in their urine, much of which comes from the food supply.

• The U.S. still permits certain chemical residues in food products that are completely banned in the European Union, Japan, and many other developed countries.

• According to the CDC, chronic exposure to these types of chemicals has been linked to increased risk of cancers, developmental delays in children, and hormone disruption.

Kennedy’s FDA isn’t just focusing on food for adults. He also announced “Operation Stork Speed,” a comprehensive crackdown on contamination in infant formula an area plagued with scandals and dangerous shortages during the Biden years.

Among the actions announced:

• A long-overdue review of infant formula nutrients, the first since 1998.

• Expanded testing for heavy metals in baby food and formula.

• Clearer labeling requirements and stronger transparency mandates.

• Encouraging collaboration with scientific institutions to better understand long-term health effects of early formula feeding.

Kennedy made it clear: “Helping each family and child get off to the right start from birth is critical to our pursuit to Make America Healthy Again.”

While Biden's FDA was busy playing defense for Big Ag and foreign importers, RFK Jr. is stepping up to do what the federal government should’ve been doing all along protecting Americans from dangerous, long-term exposure to harmful chemicals hiding in plain sight.

This is what leadership looks like: informing the public, protecting the next generation, and taking on the entrenched interests that have profited off keeping Americans in the dark.
