    The U.S. Departments of Health and Human Services (HHS) and Agriculture (USDA) are seeking public feedback on the Scientific Report prepared by the 2025 Dietary Guidelines Advisory Committee. Individuals are encouraged to submit written comments online or by mail within 60 days after the report is made available, with specific instructions on submissions provided on the respective government websites. Additionally, the public can register to give virtual oral comments on January 16, 2025, with pre-registration required. These oral presentations can be either live or pre-recorded, aimed at addressing the scientific findings and recommendations within the report.

    The Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has delayed the effective date of the rule defining the term "healthy" on food labels from February 25, 2025, to April 28, 2025, following a presidential memorandum on regulatory freeze. The rule updates how and when the term "healthy" can be used to help consumers identify nutritious foods according to current dietary guidelines. This delay allows for additional review, and although the rule's compliance date isn't until 2028, companies can start following it before then if they choose.

    Simple Explanation

    The government's rules on calling foods "healthy" on labels are being delayed so more people can look at them and make sure they're right. This means the new rules won't start right away, but companies can still choose to follow them earlier if they want.
