What this bill does
AI plain-language summaryThis bill changes how the federal government creates its official dietary guidelines. It requires the guidelines to be updated at least every 10 years instead of every 5 years and raises the bar for the scientific evidence used to support them. The bill also creates a new independent advisory board made up of nutrition and food science experts who must disclose any conflicts of interest, and it says the guidelines cannot cover topics unrelated to diet, such as taxes, social welfare, farming practices, or race. Until new guidelines are created under these updated rules, the 2020 dietary guidelines will remain in effect.
