U.S. Reps. Glenn “GT” Thompson (R-PA) and Kim Schrier (D-WA) and U.S. Sens. Roger Marshall (R-KS) Peter Welch (D-VT) Dave McCormick (R-PA) and John Fetterman (D-PA) have just reintroduced the Whole Milk for Healthy Kids Act of 2025. Please find the news release from Rep. Thompson here, and find a quote from IDFA President and CEO Michael Dykes below:
“IDFA thanks U.S. Reps. Thompson and Schrier, U.S. Senators Marshall, Welch, Fetterman, and McCormick, and other co-sponsors for their bipartisan, bicameral introduction of the Whole Milk for Healthy Kids Act, which would allow schools to provide the nutritious milk options that children prefer. Whole milk provides them with milk’s 13 essential nutrients for growth, development, healthy immune function, and overall wellness. A wide majority of parents and medical and nutrition professionals know that offering whole milk increases school meal participation, reduces food waste, and provides nutritionally valuable school meals for children and adolescents.”
