Egg Nutrition Center Endorses Dietary Guidelines for Americans.

 01/27/2021

The USDA and HHS officially launched the 2020-2025 Dietary Guidelines for Americans (DGA) at the end of 2020, incorporating recommendations from the Dietary Guidelines Advisory Committee Scientific Report released in July. Key takeaways pertaining to eggs included:-

  • The DGAs provide nutritional guidance for babies from for birth to 24-months. Eggs are recommended as a fundamental first food for babies because they are a nutrient-dense with essential nutrients, including choline, vital during a period of rapid growth and development.
  • The DGAs recommend the early introduction of eggs (after four months of age and when babies are developmentally ready) because serving eggs early and often can help reduce the risk of developing an egg allergy.
  • Eggs can help Americans of all ages meet nutrient needs, by inclusion in diets in all three of life stages. Just one egg is a good or excellent source of eight essential nutrients including six grams of high-quality protein.
