(NAFB.com) – President Donald Trump signed the Whole Milk for Healthy Kids Act on Wednesday. He was joined by Ag Secretary Brooke Rollins and Health and Human Services Secretary Robert Kennedy Jr. The legislation aligns with the recently-released Dietary Guidelines for Americans, which reintroduced full-fat dairy as part of a healthy dietary pattern. “This bipartisan solution for school meals alongside the newly released Dietary Guidelines for Americans reinforces what families already know,” said Rollins. “Nutrient-dense foods like whole milk are an important part of a healthy diet.” USDA implementation begins immediately. Following the announcement, USDA issued program implementation guidance to school officials to implement the bill, and a proposed rulemaking will soon commence to ensure schools and nutrition programs can begin offering whole milk as quickly as possible. USDA will also undergo a rewrite of Child Nutrition Programs to ensure school meals are aligned with the new dietary guidelines.
