The FDA’s Crackdown on The Food Additives Making Us Sick

from The Fox News Rundown · host FOX News Radio

A partial government shutdown is impacting the Department of Homeland Security, leaving essential personnel to work without pay as Republicans and Democrats remain divided over funding. The debate intensified following controversial immigration enforcement actions in Minneapolis & Los Angeles that have sparked anti-ICE protests and demands for stricter oversight of federal agents. Rep.Tony Gonzales (R-TX), whose district covers 800 miles of the southern border, joins to discuss the DHS funding standoff, the focus on the removal of criminal illegal aliens, and why he believes the border is more secure now than under the previous administration.The Trump administration is once again taking a closer look at the American diet and what’s in it. As part of the Department of Health and Human Services “Make America Healthy Again” agenda, the Food and Drug Administration is targeting the longstanding “Generally Recognized as Safe” (GRAS) rule, which allows food companies to self-certify ingredients without federal oversight. FDA Deputy Commissioner for Human Foods Kyle Diamantas joins the Rundown to discuss how Americans can avoid potentially harmful processed ingredients and the steps Washington is taking to eliminate them.
