Subcommittees of the 2025 Dietary Guidelines Advisory Committee
For the review of the evidence, the members of the 2025 Dietary Guidelines Advisory Committee (Committee) are divided into four subcommittees and one cross-cutting working group based on their expertise related to the scientific questions prioritized by the Committee. Each subcommittee and working group will conduct its work between the public meetings and report on its work to the full Committee. During public meetings, the full Committee will deliberate and make decisions regarding each subcommittee’s scientific reviews and plan for future work.
