Whole Milk for Kids: Schools Can Now Serve Full-Fat Milk Options.

This bill allows schools participating in the National School Lunch Program to serve whole milk (full-fat milk) alongside reduced-fat and fat-free options. This change provides students with a wider variety of milk choices during school meals. Importantly, milk fat will not count toward the overall saturated fat limits for the entire school meal, simplifying compliance for schools.
Key points
Schools in the lunch program are now permitted to offer whole milk, reduced-fat, low-fat, and fat-free milk to students.
Milk fat will be excluded when calculating the saturated fat content of the entire school meal, making it easier for schools to meet federal nutrition standards.
