Dairy Industry Advocates for Whole Milk in Schools

The dairy industry is actively supporting initiatives to reintroduce whole milk into school cafeterias. This move comes in response to guidelines established in 2010, which have been associated with a decline in milk consumption among students and an increase in food waste. By incorporating whole and 2% reduced-fat milk options, the industry believes schools will provide options that are more appealing to students, potentially reversing the negative trends seen over the past decade.
