Sponsored By: Representative Thompson, Glenn [R-PA-15]

In Committee

Would allow whole milk in federally funded school meals. This bill would let schools offer flavored and unflavored whole milk, organic or non-organic, as part of the school lunch program while changing how milk fat is treated for nutrition limits and restricting certain milk purchases.

Show full summary
  • Students and families: Students would gain more beverage choices including whole and lactose-free options. Schools must still provide a documented milk substitute for students whose disability restricts their diet.
  • School meal programs: Milk fat in these allowed fluid milks would not count toward the average saturated fat limit used to check meal compliance under 7 C.F.R. § 210.10.
  • Procurement and school authority: The Secretary would have to prohibit schools from buying milk produced by China state-owned enterprises, and the Secretary could not stop schools from offering the specified milk options.

More milk choices for school kids

If enacted, schools in the National School Lunch Program could offer more milk choices. They could serve flavored and unflavored whole, reduced-fat, low-fat, fat-free, organic, and lactose-free milk. Participating schools would need to offer students a variety of fluid milk. If a student's disability restricts their diet, schools could provide a milk substitute. The school would need a written note from a licensed physician, parent, or guardian naming the disability and substitute. Milk fat in allowed school milk would not count as saturated fat for federal meal rules. Participating schools could not buy or offer milk made by a China state-owned enterprise. The Secretary could not stop schools from offering the permitted milk options.
