Schools would offer plant-based milk options in lunch programs.
The Freedom in School Cafeterias and Lunches Act, or FISCAL Act, would require schools to offer different types of milk, including plant-based options, to students in the school lunch program. This means students would have more choices beyond just regular milk. It would also give the Secretary of Agriculture the power to set nutritional rules for new plant-based milks.
Today, the Richard B. Russell National School Lunch Act mainly talks about "fluid milk" and does not require schools to offer plant-based milk. If this bill becomes law, schools would need to offer students in the school lunch program a variety of milk. This would include both regular dairy milk and plant-based milk. The Secretary of Agriculture would also set nutritional standards for plant-based milks not already covered by guidelines.
