Robert F. Kennedy Jr. on raw milk: recommends

Robert F. Kennedy Jr. says he drinks only raw milk and, in October 2024, vowed to end what he called FDA’s “aggressive suppression” of raw milk, per The Wall Street Journal. In April 2026, he refused to agree with Rep. Rosa DeLauro that the HHS secretary should warn the public against drinking raw milk.

Kennedy has proposed a raw-milk ordinance modeled on the Pasteurized Milk Ordinance, with rigorous testing requirements, per the Journal’s reporting. Critics note that federal health agencies warn raw milk can carry dangerous pathogens; Kennedy disputes the degree of risk and frames the issue as one of personal choice and overreach by regulators.
