RFK Jr. to host HHS food policy event Monday as Trump administration highlights MAHA agenda

Health and Human Services Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. will host an event focused on the Trump administration’s food policy initiatives on Monday morning, according to a listing for the event posted by The Hill. The program is scheduled to begin at 11 a.m. EDT, and it is expected to be streamed through the outlet’s video player.

The event, set for Monday, is described as an opportunity to spotlight administration efforts aimed at advancing the “Make America Healthy Again” (MAHA) agenda as it relates to federal food policy. Kennedy, who leads the Department of Health and Human Services, is the featured official for the program.

The Hill’s preview does not outline specific regulatory actions, legislative proposals, or enforcement steps that may be announced during the event. It also does not identify any participating agencies, partners, or organizations beyond framing the session as an HHS-led effort to highlight the administration’s approach to food policy.

HHS is the federal agency that oversees a broad range of nutrition, health, and public health functions that can intersect with food policy. In that context, Monday’s event is likely to serve as a communications and agenda-setting venue for the administration’s priorities under HHS leadership, with Kennedy presenting the administration’s framing of what it says MAHA will do for food-related outcomes.

The program also comes at a time when the Trump administration has increasingly used cabinet-level remarks and department events to lay out its policy priorities across domestic portfolios. For Monday’s scheduled session, the practical impact will depend on whether the administration provides further details on specific rulemakings, guidance updates, or interagency coordination during or immediately after the event.

A video of the event is expected to be available via The Hill beginning at the scheduled start time. As of publication, the available details are limited to the event timing, the named host, and the stated focus on the administration’s food policy and MAHA agenda.
