The Trump administration's new proposed rule would require food companies to notify the Food and Drug Administration when they make such determinations and include the basis for those conclusions.
That means there are probably hundreds of such ingredients added to the food supply without strict government oversight.
Some food safety and nutrition experts said they welcomed the proposal, referring to it as a long-overdue change.
"Industry hijacked the loophole and drove a convoy of chemical trucks through it straight into the American food supply," Kennedy said at a Monday news conference.
It has various factions that defy traditional partisan lines, such as those pushing for changes to the food supply, tighter regulations over pesticides and eliminating vaccine mandates.
