RFK Jr. Praises Steak ‘n Shake for Switching to Beef Tallow in French Fries

The Health and Human Services Secretary highlights the fast-food chain's move as part of a broader push for healthier food options in the U.S.

Steak ‘n Shake has replaced seed oils with 100% beef tallow in its french fries, a move applauded by Robert F. Kennedy Jr., the U.S. Health and Human Services Secretary.
Kennedy credited the switch as a step toward combating the chronic disease epidemic linked to ultra-processed foods and seed oils in the United States.
During a visit to a Florida Steak ‘n Shake with Sean Hannity, Kennedy emphasized the Trump administration’s focus on ‘radical transparency’ in food labeling and health awareness.
Kennedy called on other companies, including major food brands and restaurant chains, to adopt similar changes and transition to more traditional, natural ingredients.
The initiative aligns with Kennedy’s ‘Make America Healthy Again’ (MAHA) campaign, which aims to incentivize healthier food practices without restricting consumer choice.
