Summary

The Food Reform for Effective and Sustainable Health (FRESH) Act amends the 1990 National Nutrition Monitoring and Related Research Act so that the new Dietary Guidelines for Americans (2025‑2030) must be formally submitted to Congress and become part of federal law. It bars any modification or replacement of those guidelines unless Congress approves a change through the same process. The measure impacts the USDA and HHS, which issue the guidelines, and the public that relies on them for nutrition advice.
