"I appreciate IDFA members for spearheading this new initiative and finding ways to promote President Trump's Make America Healthy Again agenda. Each one of these endeavors helps families make better choices and pursue healthier lives," said Secretary Rollins.

"I applaud the International Dairy Foods Association for stepping up to eliminate certified artificial colors," Secretary Kennedy said. "The American people have made it clear—they want real food, not chemicals. Together with USDA Secretary Brooke Rollins and FDA Commissioner Marty Makary, we're holding the food industry accountable and driving a nationwide effort to Make America Healthy Again."

Secretary Rollins was joined by Secretary of Health and Human Services Robert F. Kennedy, Jr. and Food and Drug Administrator Dr. Marty Makary for the IDFA announcement outside of USDA.
