U.S. Secretary of Agriculture Brooke Rollins and U.S. Secretary of Health and Human Services Robert F. Kennedy, Jr. have announced their ongoing efforts on the 2025-2030 Dietary Guidelines for Americans following the first meeting of the Make America Healthy Again Commission.
The public comment period concluded on February 10, 2025. The Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) and U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) are now reviewing the Scientific Report from the 2025 Dietary Guidelines Advisory Committee, which was released in 2024 by the previous administration. They aim to release the final guidelines before December 31, 2025, while also planning improvements to ensure transparency and reduce conflicts of interest.
“It is the dawn of a new day,” said Secretary Brooke Rollins. “The Trump-Vance Administration supports transformational opportunities to create and implement policies that promote healthy choices, healthy families, and healthy outcomes. Secretary Kennedy and I have a powerful, complementary role in this, and it starts with updating federal dietary guidance. We will make certain the 2025-2030 Guidelines are based on sound science, not political science. Gone are the days where leftist ideologies guide public policy.”
“We are going to make sure the dietary guidelines will reflect the public interest and serve public health, rather than special interests,” stated HHS Secretary Robert F. Kennedy, Jr., adding that this initiative is a significant step toward making America "the healthiest country in the world."
For over a century, the Federal government has provided dietary advice through various mediums such as bulletins, posters, brochures, books—and more recently—websites and social media platforms. This guidance has evolved over time to incorporate advancements in nutrition science.
