00:09The former Democratic presidential candidate, known as RFK, will now head up the federal
00:13government's largest department, in terms of budget.
00:17Stocks in large pharmaceutical companies plunged after the news came through.
00:23RFK has been lambasted for his critical stance on vaccines, but his focus on the campaign
00:29trail centered on food regulation.
00:32He's publicly called for restrictions on certain additives, such as tartrazine, which is used
00:37as a yellow dye in many popular food items, and some say is linked to cancer.
00:42During his presidential run, he also hinted at further regulation against the widespread
00:46use of animal antibiotics, and may look to squeeze pesticides and herbicides out of U.S.
00:52farming practices.
