USDA is currently working to create its 2025-2030 Dietary Guidelines for Americans, a set of recommendations featuring “robust scientific reviews of the current body of evidence on key nutrition and health topics for each life stage.” The Dietary Guidelines Advisory Committee is expected to offer input on the guidelines and has held meetings this week to discuss its plans.
