US EditionWhole Milk Returns to School Lunches Under New Federal Law
The Whole Milk for Healthy Kids Act restores whole and 2% milk options in schools, potentially boosting milk consumption and aiding family-run dairy farms, experts say.
- This week, President Donald Trump signed the Whole Milk for Healthy Kids Act, restoring whole and 2% milk to schools participating in the National School Lunch Program.
- Under the prior Healthy Hunger-Free Kids Act, championed by former first lady Michelle Obama, schools were limited to low-fat or skim milk to reduce saturated fat and calories.
- In Western New York, Thomas Graser said the change could boost milk sales and support family-run dairy farms, adding `I think it will be a very gradual change` for local school cafeterias.
- Districts retain discretion to set menus, expanding milk choices without requiring whole milk, while Ashley Krautkramer urged parents to consider children's overall diets.
- For the first time in more than a decade, schools in the National School Lunch Program can offer whole and 2% milk again, with nutrition experts emphasizing balance and age-based recommendations.
