Whole Milk for Healthy Kids Act of 2025

What this bill does

AI plain-language summary

This bill changes the rules about what kinds of milk schools can serve in the National School Lunch Program. Currently, schools can only serve fat-free or low-fat milk, but this bill would let schools offer whole milk, reduced-fat milk, low-fat milk, and fat-free milk in both flavored and unflavored varieties. The bill also says that when schools calculate how much saturated fat is in their meals, they don't have to count the fat from milk. Additionally, parents or guardians could write notes asking for milk substitutes for students with dietary restrictions, instead of only doctors being able to do this, and schools would be banned from buying milk made by Chinese government-owned companies.
