Thank you for your interest in the Dietary Guidelines.

The U.S. Departments of Agriculture and Health and Human Services recently requested nominations to the 2020 Dietary Guidelines Advisory Committee. The Departments are reviewing nominations and plan to announce the Committee membership in the coming months.

The Committee will be established to conduct an independent, science-based review of specific topics and supporting scientific questions related to nutrition and health – from birth into older adulthood.

USDA and HHS will consider the Committee’s scientific review as the Departments develop the 2020-2025 Dietary Guidelines for Americans.

This page will expand into a full site later this year. If you have trouble finding anything, please contact us at dietaryguidelines@cnpp.usda.gov.
