01 Feb 2023 ---The US-based Center for Science in the Public Interest (CSPI) and 14 other public health organizations have sent a letter calling for transparency from the federal government to disclose any potential financial conflicts of interest among the newly announced members of the Committee for the Dietary Guidelines for Americans 2025 to 2030. “A Committee member’s conflict of interest with a pharmaceutical or food company, for example, receiving research grant funding or speaker fees, could potentially bias their decision-making in favor of that company,” Jessi Silverman, senior policy associate at the CSPI, tells NutritionInsight.
