In comments delivered to the Department of Health and Human Services (DHHS), U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA), and the Dietary Guidelines Advisory Committee (DGAC), the Institute of Food Technologists (IFT) urged the federal agencies to involve food scientists and technologists in the 2015 Dietary Guidelines deliberation process. Further, IFT emphasized the need for DHHS and USDA to consider at least one permanent designation of a food scientist and/or food technologist for future (2020 and beyond) DGACs.
