Health and Human Services Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. has made it an agency's mission to reverse the chronic disease epidemic by implementing the "Make America Healthy Again" initiative, which aims to eliminate toxic food dyes and processed foods from the nation's food supply chain. In response to the incoming HHS policy, one of the world's top players in the spices, herbs, and seasonings industry has announced plans to reformulate its products to align with the MAHA agenda.

"We are seeing a tick-up in reformulation activity," McCormick & Co. CEO Brendan Foley told analysts in an earnings call. He said the company's initiative was occurring "across our customer base, but also a lot of new product activity, too."
