Historic New Dietary Guidelines

On January 7 at 11:00 a.m., the White House released its Dietary Guidelines for Americans, 2025–2030, describing them as “the most consequential reset of United States nutrition policy in decades.” Developed jointly by the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) and the U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA), with HHS serving as the administrative lead, the guidelines signal a clear break from the nutrition framework that has shaped federal policy for generations.
