Summary
Robert F. Kennedy Jr. told listeners he met with major U.S. food producers and described a cooperative relationship with federal health agencies; the remarks are presented as his account and were not independently verified in the transcript.
Robert F. Kennedy Jr. said he met “today with the largest food producers in America” and described the meeting as “a very encouraging meeting,” according to remarks in a short recorded statement.
Kennedy, who in the remarks identified himself as “the secretary of HHS,” said the companies discussed “a partnership” and “collaboration.” He said, “They understand that we are in a crisis now that Americans are tired of being the sickest people in the world and that consumer choices are now changing.”
Kennedy also said, “They understand that they have a new sheriff in town here at FDA, at HHS, and in the White House, and that president Trump wants something that is gonna happen not in 10 years, not in 4 years, not even in 3 years, but he wants it to happen right now.”
At the end of the recording he said, “We made it clear that we wanna work with them, and we would prefer a relationship that is collaborative, cooperative partnership, and they very, very much agreed with that. So I'm very optimistic. Produced by the US Department of Health and Human Services.”
The transcript contains only Kennedy’s statements and does not provide independent confirmation of the meeting, the participation of the agencies he named, or the production/source claim he made. The remarks are presented here as his account from the recorded remarks; no formal action, vote, or additional speakers appear in the provided transcript.
Because the comments state involvement by federal agencies and the White House, those references may have implications for federal policy if they reflect actual interagency discussions or directives. The transcript provided does not supply corroborating documents, a meeting agenda, or statements from the named agencies.
The record does not specify timing beyond “today,” nor does it identify which companies participated beyond “the largest food producers in America,” or provide details about any agreed actions or deadlines. The speaker invoked the “Omaha movement” as a reason for changing consumer choices but did not elaborate on what that movement’s role was in the meeting.
