Dietary Guidelines Reform: More Science, Transparency, and Accessibility

This act changes how official dietary guidelines, which influence what Americans eat, are created. It aims to ensure recommendations are based on the latest science, are more transparent, and accessible to everyone, considering diverse health and financial needs.
Key points
Dietary guidelines will be updated at least every 10 years, instead of 5, with options for more frequent updates if needed.
New guidelines must be based on strong scientific evidence and address the needs of individuals with chronic diseases.
An independent advisory board of experts will be established to provide scientific questions for the guidelines.
All advisory committee members will be required to disclose financial and other conflicts of interest, increasing transparency.
Guidelines will be prohibited from including topics not directly related to dietary guidance, such as taxes or social welfare policies.
Funding of $5 million annually for fiscal years 2025-2029 is allocated to implement these changes.
