The United States Department of Agriculture (USDA) issued a final rule implementing the Whole Milk for Healthy Kids Act, signed into law by President Donald Trump in January, restoring whole and reduced-fat milk options in school meals.
The rule furthers the president’s “commitment to improving childhood nutrition and supporting America’s dairy farmers by ensuring schools and child nutrition providers can once again offer students nutrient-dense dairy options that align with the latest nutrition science and consumer preference,” the USDA said in a May 8 statement.
