The Trump administration is taking aim at ultra-processed foods while reversing long-held U.S. government stances on red meat and saturated fats.

The new guidance comes in stark contrast to the Dietary Guidelines Advisory Committee’s report released in the final days of President Joe Biden's term, which garnered criticism over a lack of directives on ultra-processed foods.

Health and Human Services (HHS) Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. has made overhauling the U.S. food supply a crucial focus of his "Make America Healthy Again" (MAHA) agenda, which is aimed at addressing chronic disease and childhood illnesses. The secretary has argued that the nation's food practices have harmed Americans and led to skyrocketing healthcare costs.

More details are being announced during White House press secretary Karoline Leavitt's briefing on Wednesday. Kennedy and other Cabinet officials are expected to join.
