Investing.com -- Health and Human Services Secretary, Robert F. Kennedy Jr., has urged leading food companies to eliminate artificial dyes from their products. In a meeting held on Monday, Kennedy met with senior executives from Kraft Heinz (NASDAQ:KHC) Co., General Mills Inc (NYSE:GIS)., and other food corporations, asking them to take action before his term concludes.

The meeting was detailed in a letter from the Consumer Brands Association (CBA) that was later obtained by Bloomberg News. The letter stated that Kennedy is anticipating "real and transformative" change in the food industry by eliminating the most harmful ingredients.

The letter, penned by Melissa Hockstad, the CEO of the CBA, further highlighted Kennedy’s resolve. It stated that Kennedy has made it clear he plans to take action if the industry fails to proactively address the issue.
