In early January of 2026, new Dietary Guidelines for Americans (DGAs) 2025-2030 were released. The updated DGAs are intended to provide science-based advice and daily recommendations on food groups and nutrients to encourage and those to limit — all in an effort to support healthy and balanced eating patterns. The Dietary Guidelines serve as recommendations and a reminder to consumers that a balanced diet is all about navigating the grocery store to include protein, dairy, fruits, vegetables, whole grains and healthy fats to plan meals and snacks in a personal way.
Grocery stores offer expert advice, guidance, inspiration and support through registered dietitians to help shoppers make nutritious choices as they shop, prep, cook and eat to meet their own health needs. The Dietary Guidelines present an opportunity to meet consumers where they are and lean into the expertise and guidance of registered dietitians across the industry.
