Dietary Guidelines

OFW monitors the Dietary Guidelines Advisory Committee (DGAC) process for clients with an interest in consumer foods. The DGAC process establishes the Dietary Guidelines for Americans, a document that is updated every five years and serves as the foundational document for federal nutrition programs and policies. Throughout the process the public is invited to provide comments as the DGAC considers each nutritional subject. OFW assists clients in developing and presenting comments for consideration on many issues before the Committee.
