Schools may now serve the full range of fluid milk, flavored or unflavored, including lactose-free and organic varieties. A key provision exempts fluid milk from weekly saturated fat limits, removing a compliance barrier that previously put federal reimbursements at risk. Nondairy alternatives are also expanded. The law took effect immediately, no phase-in required. It applies only to the NSLP; the School Breakfast Program and CACFP remain unchanged, leaving clear targets for future legislation.Learn more about WMHKA Whole Milk for Healthy Kids Act of 2025 by visiting https://kidlaw.org/2026/03/09/wmhka-whole-milk-for-healthy-kids-act-of-2025/https://www.youtube.com/@KidlawACNJ
