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.
