Trump Signs Law Allowing Whole Milk in School Lunch Programs

President Donald Trump signed the Whole Milk for Healthy Kids Act, allowing schools in the National School Lunch Program to serve whole and 2% fat milk alongside skim and low-fat options. The law also permits nondairy milk alternatives meeting nutritional standards and requires schools to offer them if students provide parental notes for dietary restrictions. This move reverses Obama-era limits from the Healthy Hunger-Free Kids Act and aligns with recent dietary guidelines emphasizing full-fat dairy. Implementation may vary as schools adjust supply chains.
