Public Comments to the Departments
The public was invited to provide comments on the Scientific Report of the 2025 Dietary Guidelines Advisory Committee (Scientific Report) from December 11, 2024, to February 10, 2025. The public comments, along with the Scientific Report, Dietary Reference Intakes, existing federal guidance and federal agency input will help inform the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) and U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) as they jointly develop the next edition of the Dietary Guidelines for Americans.
Oral Comment Meeting
A public meeting was held on Thursday, January 16, 2025, at which HHS and USDA heard oral comments from the public on the Committee’s Scientific Report.
The public was invited to provide oral comments to the departments, and registration was confirmed on a first-come, first-served basis until capacity was reached. A total of 79 speakers provided oral comments to the departments based on the allotted time available. The departments appreciate the strong public engagement in the process.
