Something really important happened on Feb. 26. I want to put a spotlight on it, as opposed to solely placing it as a news write-up on www.dairyfoods.com.
The International Dairy Foods Association’s (IDFA) Healthy School Milk Commitment was officially recognized at a special event organized at the White House, which endorses a new set of commitments under the Biden-Harris administration’s National Strategy on Hunger, Nutrition, and Health. IDFA’s Healthy School Milk Commitment is a pledge by 37 school milk processors representing approximately 95% of the school milk volume in the United States to provide healthy, nutritious school milk options with no more than 10 grams of added sugar per 8-ounce serving. This is consistent with the latest federal Dietary Guidelines for Americans and ahead of current school meal nutrition guidelines established by the U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA).
