This bill lets schools in the National School Lunch Program offer more milk choices. Students could choose whole, reduced-fat, low-fat, or fat-free milk, flavored or unflavored. The milk can be organic or not, and lactose-free options are allowed. Schools must offer a variety of milk choices. For students with disabilities who need a different option, a parent or legal guardian (not just a doctor) can provide the note to get a substitute for milk .
The bill also says milk fat won’t count toward the meal’s saturated fat limit, so serving whole milk won’t push a school over that cap. It blocks schools from buying milk from Chinese state-owned companies. And it prevents the federal agency in charge from banning schools from offering these milk choices .
