National dietary guidelines increasingly recognize the health benefits of consuming plant-based protein over animal-based options. In the US, a new Scientific Report of the 2025 Dietary Guidelines Advisory Committee (DGAC) now also recommends including more nutrient-dense plant-based meals in the country’s dietary recommendations.The report’s evidence-based findings and advice, public comments and federal agency input are the foundation for the 2025–2030 Dietary Guidelines for Americans. The US Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) and the US Department of Agriculture (USDA) will develop these guidelines, which are expected for late 2025.
