Then why appoint RFK in the first place? Seems like a dumb move to appoint someone who you know is going to cause conflict later.

Why does he appoint any of the disastrously unqualified people that he does? He seems to enjoy creating chaos. Maybe he even hopes to put the food industry in a position where they have to beg him to rein in RFK Jr's plans.

Probably to get the votes of those who had been backing RFK Jr in the election.
