The FRESH Act of 2026 codifies the Dietary Guidelines for Americans, 2025–2030, into law.

It changes the process by which these guidelines are submitted to Congress, requiring congressional approval before they can be implemented. Once approved, the guidelines cannot be modified or superseded except through the same process. This legislation aims to ensure the stability and enforceability of the dietary guidelines.
