Mandatory Milk Substitutes in Schools: No Doctor's Note Required.
This bill mandates that schools participating in the National School Lunch Act must provide fluid milk substitutes upon the request of a student or parent. This change removes the previous requirement for parents to obtain a written medical statement or prove a special dietary need to access alternatives like soy milk. The goal is to simplify access to appropriate nutritional options for children with dietary preferences or intolerances.
Key points
Schools are required (not just permitted) to offer fluid milk substitutes in school meal programs.
Parents or students can request substitutes without needing a doctor's note or identifying a specific medical need.
Substitutes must meet nutritional standards set by the most recent Dietary Guidelines for Americans.
