On January 21, 2021, Dean began service in the Biden administration as deputy under secretary for food, nutrition, and consumer services at the Department of Agriculture (USDA). During her tenure at USDA, Dean oversaw the 2021 update to the Thrifty Food Plan (TFP). The nonpartisan U.S. Government Accountability Office later determined this action violated the Congressional Review Act.{{Cite web |last=Office |first=U. S.
