The Dietary Guidelines for Americans, 2020-2025 identified calcium, potassium, dietary fiber, and vitamin D as nutrients of public health concern because many of us do not get adequate amounts of these nutrients in our diets. Iron is also a critical nutrient for pregnant women and some infants. To help consumers and nutrition professionals identify which foods contain these much-needed nutrients, USDA and HHS have developed new tools that explain where to find calcium, dietary fiber, potassium, vitamin D, and iron in a variety of foods and beverages that meet a range of dietary preferences and cultural traditions.
