Trump Signs Law Restoring Whole Milk in Schools

The Whole Milk for Healthy Kids Act reverses 2010 restrictions that limited school milk to fat-free or low-fat options, following a drop in consumption and new science supporting full-fat dairy. Bipartisan sponsors like Sens.

Roger Marshall and John Fetterman pushed the bill, which passed unanimously in the Senate and overwhelmingly in the House.

 Trump tied the signing to his 'Make America Healthy Again' initiative, joking about milk's cognitive boost while Agriculture Secretary Brooke Rollins and HHS Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. joined in celebrating access for millions of kids.

Changes roll out for the 2026-27 school year, with non-dairy options still available.
