Dear Secretary Kennedy, Secretary Rollins, and Administrator Zeldin,
As organizations representing the food and agriculture community, we write to express our interest in working with you and the Make America Healthy Again Commission in advancing our shared goals of improving health outcomes for Americans while protecting our most vulnerable populations. At the same time, we are eager to share with the Commission our significant concerns regarding unfounded criticisms levied against the safety of the food and agricultural value chain. It is essential that as these topics are reviewed, the Commission respects and reinforces the robust science- and risk-based regulatory systems to which products are already subject and the abundance of fit-for-purpose scientific literature on these matters. We urge the Commission to draw conclusions from the significant body of sound, quality science and data while resisting policy changes based on misleading or outlier studies.
