<p class="EkqkG IGXmU nlgHS yuUao MvWXB TjIXL aGjvy ebVHC ">The draft of an upcoming government report suggesting ways to improve the health of American children does not recommend severe restrictions on pesticides and ultra-processed foods, according to a copy of the document obtained by ABC News.</p>
<p class="EkqkG IGXmU nlgHS yuUao lqtkC TjIXL aGjvy ">The draft&#8217;s language, if left unchanged, would constitute a win for the agriculture industry and a potential setback for Health and Human Services (HHS) Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. and his &#8220;Make America Healthy Again&#8221; (MAHA) allies, who have railed against the use of chemical additives in America&#8217;s food supply, arguing that they harm children.</p>
<p class="EkqkG IGXmU nlgHS yuUao lqtkC TjIXL aGjvy ">A person familiar with the draft cautioned that the language could still change before it&#8217;s released to the public.</p>
<p class="EkqkG IGXmU nlgHS yuUao lqtkC TjIXL aGjvy ">&#8220;Unless officially released by the administration, any document purporting to be the MAHA report should be dismissed as speculative literature,&#8221; White House deputy press secretary Kush Desai said in response to ABC News&#8217; request for comment.</p>
<p class="EkqkG IGXmU nlgHS yuUao lqtkC TjIXL aGjvy ">An HHS spokesperson declined to verify the document&#8217;s authenticity.</p>

<p class="EkqkG IGXmU nlgHS yuUao lqtkC TjIXL aGjvy ">The report will be the second &#8220;MAHA&#8221; report released by the Trump administration following one <a class="zZygg UbGlr iFzkS qdXbA WCDhQ DbOXS tqUtK GpWVU iJYzE " data-testid="prism-linkbase" href="https://abcnews.go.com/Politics/white-house-releases-rfk-jr-led-report-chronic/story?id=122076156" target="_blank">published in May</a>. Both were composed by officials in the White House and across different federal agencies, including Kennedy&#8217;s HHS.</p>
<p class="EkqkG IGXmU nlgHS yuUao lqtkC TjIXL aGjvy ">The May report detailed the factors officials said were worsening the health of American children and called for a second report, within 100 days, to recommend policies to address those factors.</p>
<p class="EkqkG IGXmU nlgHS yuUao lqtkC TjIXL aGjvy ">The earlier report &#8212; which was dogged by the revelation that some <a class="zZygg UbGlr iFzkS qdXbA WCDhQ DbOXS tqUtK GpWVU iJYzE " data-testid="prism-linkbase" href="https://abcnews.go.com/Politics/rfk-jrs-maha-report-contained-existent-studies/story?id=122321059" target="_blank">studies it cited were nonexistent</a> &#8212; cited damning statistics about the effect of chemical food additives, tying them to cancer and developmental disorders.</p>
<p class="EkqkG IGXmU nlgHS yuUao lqtkC TjIXL aGjvy ">The draft of the new report does not signal any intention to eliminate pesticides from America&#8217;s food.</p>
<p class="EkqkG IGXmU nlgHS yuUao lqtkC TjIXL aGjvy ">Instead, the draft calls for &#8220;more targeted and precise pesticide applications&#8221; and research programs that would &#8220;help to decrease pesticide volumes.&#8221;</p>
<p class="EkqkG IGXmU nlgHS yuUao lqtkC TjIXL aGjvy ">The report also stated the Environmental Protection Agency &#8220;will work to ensure that the public has awareness and confidence in EPA&#8217;s robust pesticide review procedures and how that relates to the limiting of risk for users and the general public.&#8221;</p>
<p class="EkqkG IGXmU nlgHS yuUao lqtkC TjIXL aGjvy ">Regarding ultra-processed foods, the new report states only that HHS, the U.S. Department of Agriculture and the Food and Drug Administration would work to develop a &#8220;government-wide definition for &#8216;ultra-processed food.'&#8221;</p>
<p class="EkqkG IGXmU nlgHS yuUao lqtkC TjIXL aGjvy ">In his <a class="zZygg UbGlr iFzkS qdXbA WCDhQ DbOXS tqUtK GpWVU iJYzE " data-testid="prism-linkbase" href="https://abcnews.go.com/Politics/4-takeaways-rfk-jr-senate-hearing/story?id=118213176" target="_blank">January confirmation hearing</a>, Kennedy declared that &#8220;something is poisoning the American people, and we know that the primary culprits are changing food supply, a switch to highly chemical intensive processed foods.&#8221;</p>

<p class="EkqkG IGXmU nlgHS yuUao lqtkC TjIXL aGjvy ">Meanwhile, some &#8220;MAHA&#8221; influencers have loudly demanded changes to the country&#8217;s food supply, putting their faith in Kennedy to leverage his position of power to uproot the agriculture industry.</p>
<p class="EkqkG IGXmU nlgHS yuUao lqtkC TjIXL aGjvy ">But this summer, agriculture groups lobbied intensely against the inclusion of anti-pesticide recommendations in the new report.</p>
<p class="EkqkG IGXmU nlgHS yuUao lqtkC TjIXL aGjvy ">They appeared to find an ally in Secretary of Agriculture Brooke Rollins, who indicated to reporters this month that the upcoming report would spare pesticides.</p>
<p class="EkqkG IGXmU nlgHS yuUao lqtkC eTIW sUzSN ">&#8220;There is no chance that our current system of agriculture can survive without those crop protection tools,&#8221; she said at a press conference in a Washington. &#8220;I feel very confident that his, and our, commitment to make sure that farmers are at the table remains paramount, and that the report will reflect that.&#8221;</p>
