U.S. Secretary of Agriculture Brooke Rollins and U.S. Secretary of Health and Human Services Robert F. Kennedy, Jr. have announced they are continuing to work on the 2025-2030 Dietary Guidelines following the initial meeting of the Make America Healthy Again Commission meeting earlier this week. While the public comment period closed on February 10th, the two departments are taking a line-by-line look of the scientific report of the 2025 Dietary Guidelines Advisory Committee previously released last year. The final guidelines are expected to be released ahead of the December 31, 2025 statutory deadline. USDA Secretary Brooke Rollins said, “It is the dawn of a new day. 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. HHS Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. said, “We are going to make sure the dietary guidelines will reflect the public interest and serve public health, rather than special interests. This is a giant step in making America the healthiest country in the world.”
