US EditionShould Whole Milk Return to School Cafeterias?
- On Tuesday in Washington, D.C., the Senate panel responsible for agriculture, nutrition, and forestry approved legislation by voice vote that aims to allow whole milk to be offered again in school meal programs.
- Pennsylvania Senators John Fetterman and Dave McCormick have jointly introduced bipartisan legislation designed to enhance school nutrition options and strengthen the dairy industry, addressing the long-standing restriction on whole milk in school meal programs.
- The bill also addresses the inclusion of non-dairy beverage choices and complements Senator Fetterman’s broader initiative to broaden drink options available in school meal programs through his proposed legislation aimed at increasing flexibility for students.
- Senator Fetterman emphasized the importance of providing nutritious school meals tailored to children’s needs to support their development, while McCormick described the bill as a practical measure benefiting both dairy farmers and the health of children.
- The act now awaits full Senate consideration and could reverse the 2010 federal restriction that allowed only low-fat and fat-free milk in schools to address childhood obesity concerns.
