Kennedy has long opposed additives and artificial ingredients in ultra processed foods, arguing that those ingredients are making Americans sick. The Food and Drug Administration (FDA) had announced in January it would ban the dye called Red 3 from the nation’s food supply, giving manufacturers until January 2027 to remove it from their food.

An Associated Press review of Mom's Meals menu shows that its offerings are the type of foods that Kennedy routinely criticizes for making people sick.
