Report on Calley Means’s resignation from the White House

Calley Means, whom STAT calls a top Make America Healthy Again adviser and a driving force behind many MAHA policy efforts, resigned on 22 October 2026. His statement gave no reason; STAT attributes to POLITICO's reporting the account that the stalled ultra-processed food definition was behind his departure.
