The U.S. Senate Agriculture Committee passed the Whole Milk for Healthy Kids Act last week, which would expand healthy milk options for children by reversing the law that removed whole milk from school cafeterias.
The legislation first was introduced by Sen. Roger Marshall in June 2023 and reintroduced in April 2025 with numerous bipartisan sponsors and co-sponsors.
“Whole and reduced-fat milk should have never been excluded from the National School Lunch Program,” said Sen. Marshall.
