IDFA: Federal dietary committee recommends three servings of dairy per day
The association said it is pleased to see federal nutrition guidance continue to affirm the important nutritional contributions made by dairy foods.
The Washington, D.C.-based International Dairy Foods Association (IDFA) released the following statement on June 17:
“Today, members of the Dietary Guidelines Advisory Committee (DGAC) confirmed dairy products should maintain a central, important role in federal nutrition recommendations for people beginning at a very early age. In addition to maintaining three servings of dairy per day, the committee found strong evidence pointing to positive health outcomes from dairy foods. In fact, a diet including low-fat and fat-free dairy, legumes, whole grains, fruits and vegetables is considered the ideal, healthy dietary pattern for all ages.
