Might want to fact-check the fact-check…

After RFK Jr. released a video explaining the dangerous chemicals and additives in America’s food supply — including cereals and snack foods — The New York Times challenged the HHS nominee on a claim he made about Froot Loops.

Here’s RFK’s recently released video explaining the dangers of additives like yellow 5.

NYT challenged Kennedy in an article titled Kennedy’s Vow to Take On Big Food Could Alienate His New G.O.P. Allies.

From the article:

Mr. Kennedy has singled out Froot Loops as an example of a product with too many artificial ingredients, questioning why the Canadian version has fewer than the U.S. version. But he was wrong. The ingredient list is roughly the same, although Canada’s has natural colorings made from blueberries and carrots while the U.S. product contains red dye 40, yellow 5 and blue 1 as well as Butylated hydroxytoluene, or BHT, a lab-made chemical that is used ‘for freshness,’ according to the ingredient label.

“Roughly the same” aside from the chemical that Kennedy explicitly said was dangerous.

In other areas, the piece was more fair to RFK.

More broadly, Mr. Kennedy has set an agenda to root out what he considers corruption in the arena of government and public health, arguing that regulatory agencies overseeing food and drugs have been working hand in hand with corporate America to enhance profits rather than to benefit consumers.

Many of the issues Mr. Kennedy raises about healthier foods and on changing the practices of established industries through tougher measures have traditionally been pursued by Democrats.
