Bill > HR8578

This bill, also known as the Food Reform for Effective and Sustainable Health (FRESH) Act of 2026, aims to formally incorporate the "Dietary Guidelines for Americans, 2025-2030" into law. Currently, these guidelines, which provide recommendations on healthy eating, are issued jointly by the Secretary of Agriculture and the Secretary of Health and Human Services under the National Nutrition Monitoring and Related Research Act of 1990. This bill proposes to change the process by requiring that a proposed version of the guidelines be submitted to Congress for approval by law before they can be officially published and implemented. Furthermore, it specifies that the 2025-2030 edition of these guidelines, once approved, cannot be altered or replaced unless Congress passes a new law to do so, thereby codifying these specific dietary recommendations into federal law.
