RFK Jr. targets Dunkin' Donuts on ingredients, Massachusetts governor responds
Kennedy has been very critical of toxins, artificial dyes and pesticides in American food and has been making efforts to have food companies remove them.
WASHINGTON (TNND) — Massachusetts Democratic Gov. Maura Healy said “come and take it” in response to a report that Health and Human Services Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. would be pulling certain ingredients from a Dunkin Donuts in the state.
Healy responded with a picture of a Dunkin Donuts coffee with a star above it, captioned “Come And Take It.”
During a rally in Austin, Texas last week, Kennedy said the HHS would be asking major coffee companies about their ingredients.
“We’re going to ask Dunkin’ Donuts and Starbucks, ‘Show us the safety data that show that it’s OK for a teenage girl to drink an iced coffee with 115 grams of sugar in it,’” he said, according to The Hill newspaper.
He said that he doubted either coffee company would be able to justify the 115 grams of sugar.
Kennedy has been very critical of toxins, artificial dyes and pesticides in American food and has been making efforts to have food companies remove them.
Target announced last month that they would only be selling cereals that don’t have synthetic colors by the end of May.
