Food Reform for Effective and Sustainable Health (FRESH) Act of 2026

This bill changes how the federal Dietary Guidelines for Americans are issued. Instead of publishing the guidelines directly, the Secretaries of Agriculture and Health and Human Services would submit proposed guidelines to Congress. The guidelines would carry their existing legal role, such as being promoted by federal agencies, only if Congress approves them by law. The bill also states that the 2025-2030 edition, issued on January 7, 2026, could not be modified or replaced except through this process.
