U.S. Secretary of Health and Human Services Robert F. Kennedy Jr. is not letting up on Dunkin'.
In an X post on March 4, Kennedy asked whether a drink containing 180 grams of sugar from Dunkin' is reasonable. The post was made in response to Massachusetts Gov. Maura Healey, who earlier in the day shared a photo on X of the 1835 "Come and Take It" flag, first used at the start of the Texas Revolution, with a Dunkin' cup added.
"No one is taking away your Dunkin'," Kennedy responded. "But isn't it reasonable to ask whether a drink loaded with 180 grams of sugar is safe?"
Healey's post came after an Eat Real Food Rally in Austin, Texas, on Feb. 26, where Kennedy said he has plans to press coffee chains like Dunkin' and Starbucks to prove their ingredients are safe.
"Show us the safety data that shows that it’s OK for a teenage girl to drink an iced coffee with 115 grams of sugar in it," Kennedy said during the rally. "I don’t think they’re gonna be able to do it."
