A Statement by the American Frozen Food Institute in Response to the Release of the Dietary Guidelines for Americans
Critics highlight bias in a government-led alcohol study and influence from meat and dairy industries on 2025 Dietary Guidelines affecting alcohol and plant-based milk policies.
- The American Frozen Food Institute said it appreciated the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services acknowledging frozen fruits and vegetables as good options recently.
- HHS framed the Guidelines as an effort to realign the food system to support American farmers and ranchers, while critics say meat and dairy industry interests shaped the policy.
- New Guidelines omit sex-specific alcohol guidance despite research on alcohol metabolism, and a House Committee on Oversight and Government Reform said a study was fraught with biases undermining the Guidance.
- Switch4Good founder and vegan Olympic medalist Dotsie Bausch said the plant-based milk provisions secured through the Freedom in School Cafeterias and Lunches Act remain intact, ensuring students and families can access non-dairy options.
- The new pyramid depicts animal-based foods prominently, including the RFK inverted food pyramid, which drew criticism for reinforcing broader public-health and equity concerns while Dotsie Bausch highlighted plant-based diets' benefits.
