> U.S. Health Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. is expected to present a plan on Monday aimed at changing a decades-old regulatory loophole. The provision has allowed food companies to use certain chemicals in their products without notifying federal food regulators. The reported initiative would target that notification gap. Its announcement was reported by the Washington Post.
