Findings that rest on exhibits naming this entity
- AGR-4.3: In April 1991 USDA postponed the Food Guide Pyramid after the National Cattlemen's Association and other producer groups protested, and released a revised design one year and one day later. Nestle's account describes the Secretary's stated reason as "widely disbelieved." USDA's own 2011 chronology does not mention the postponement.
- AGR-4.12: In January 2026 HHS and USDA replaced the 2025 advisory committee report as the evidence base with a review by nine external reviewers selected through a federal contracting process. The departments' disclosure table lists funding or fees from beef, pork or dairy organizations for four of the nine.
