What is the purpose of the USDA NEL?
The USDA Nutrition Evidence Library was created to review, evaluate and synthesize food and nutrition-related research using a transparent methodology to ensure that relevant, timely and high-quality evidence-based reviews are available to inform nutrition-related public health policies, recommendations and programs. A secondary product of the NEL is the identification of gaps in the data or methodological limitations related to a particular area of study and recommendations for future research.
