The U.S. Food and Drug Administration has issued a recall for 40,000 gallons of milk produced by Robert F. Kennedy Jr. due to serious health risks. Reports of illnesses such as high fever, nausea, and uncontrollable diarrhea prompted the recall, which affects all milk produced since March 4, 2026. FDA Commissioner Marty Makary highlighted that the milk was contaminated with E. coli, salmonella, listeria, and a newly identified pathogen, Robertococcus kenneddi. The conditions in Kennedy's residence were described as 'appalling,' with inspectors finding unsanitary environments. The FDA has advised consumers to incinerate the milk instead of disposing of it down the drain to prevent environmental contamination. Despite the recall, Kennedy defended his product, claiming that negative reactions are due to a lack of probiotics in American diets. The FDA is offering refunds to those affected and recommends a course of antibiotics for those who experienced severe symptoms.
