The 2015–2020 Dietary Guidelines for Americans do not mention the cancer risks associated with processed or red meat, and state that processed meat can fit into a diet if other nutrient limits are met.
Notes on verification
Multiple independent sources including academic (Harvard nutrition source), legal/policy analysis, and news outlets corroborate that the 2015-2020 guidelines omitted explicit cancer risk warnings for processed/red meat despite WHO/IARC classifications, and allowed processed meat within nutrient limits.
