The American Frozen Food Institute (AFFI) appreciates the opportunity to provide comment to the U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) and the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) on the 2025 Dietary Guidelines Advisory Committee (DGAC) Scientific Report that will inform the development of the 2025 – 2030 Dietary Guidelines for Americans (DGA). From manufacturers to distributors to suppliers to packagers, AFFI is proud to represent publicly traded and family-owned companies who help produce frozen foods and beverages for today's food service and retail marketplace and serve as economic pillars within their communities. Throughout the U.S., frozen food sales reached $85 billion in the last year, and the industry accounts for 670,000 U.S. jobs. As a representative of the frozen food industry, we would like to provide insights into several key areas of the report and emphasize the importance of considering frozen food options as a viable and nutritious component of the American diet. We believe that the final Dietary Guidelines should balance scientific evidence and practical solutions to improve the health of all Americans. Please see the attached document for AFFI's complete comments.

Abstract

The Departments of Health and Human Services and Agriculture solicit written comments on the Scientific Report of the 2025 Dietary Guidelines Advisory Committee. Each edition of the Dietary Guidelines builds upon the preceding edition, with the scientific justification for revisions informed by the Scientific Report of the 2025 Dietary Guidelines Advisory Committee, Dietary Reference Intakes, existing Federal guidance and consideration of federal agency input and public comments. Once the final Scientific Report is published online, the public will have 60 days to provide written comments to HHS and USDA to inform the development of the next edition of the Dietary Guidelines for Americans. This public comment period closes on the 60th day at 11:59 p.m. ET.
