The Ministry of Health has published the new Mexican Dietary Guidelines 2025–2030, a technical document that updates the criteria for health promotion and the prevention of chronic diseases in the country. This regulation becomes the guiding framework for national public health, steering the transition toward healthy and sustainable food systems. The text, developed thru a consensus of experts from the National Institute of Public Health (INSP in Spanish) and international organizations, is now available for download and implementation in healthcare facilities.

The new 2025–2030 Healthy and Sustainable Dietary Guidelines are a strategic tool to improve the nutrition of the Mexican population without compromising the environment, and are therefore aimed at everyone, with special attention to school-age children and adolescents, said Anabelle Bonvecchio Arenas, Director of Nutrition Policy and Programs Research at the National Institute of Public Health (INSP in Spanish).

The U.S. Departments of Health and Human Services (HHS) and Agriculture (USDA) will host the second full meeting of the 2025 Dietary Guidelines Advisory Committee on May 10, 2023. The meeting will be livestreamed for public viewing. Members of the public who wish to view the meeting may register on DietaryGuidelines.gov.

The departments encourage public participation in the committee’s process and opened a public comment period in January. A public comment portal will remain open throughout the committee’s deliberations and comments may be submitted online.

As the first step in the development process of the Dietary Guidelines for Americans, 2025-2030 (Dietary Guidelines), the U.S. Departments of Health and Human Services (HHS) and Agriculture (USDA) are releasing proposed scientific questions for public comment. The public comment period will be open for 30 days starting April 15, 2022, through May 16, 2022 at 11:59 PM ET. HHS and USDA are committed to transparency and providing opportunities for public participation during this five-step process leading up to the release of the Dietary Guidelines in 2025.
