ICMR issues new dietary guidelines for Indians

Agencies and courts on June 2, 2026 noted that published accounts tied the story to wider national and sector coverage. ICMR-NIN ‘Dietary Guidelines for Indians’ released May 2024 (first update in ~13 years).

Subsequent updates explained that advises minimize sugar (<5% energy), adequate protein via diet (0.83 g/kg RDA), avoid protein supplements for muscle-building, limit ultra-processed foods. Reporting note: Guidelines are 2024 release, not newly issued June 2026.

Officials said further steps would follow as reviews continue.
