NY Rep Fights to Keep Flavored Milk in Schools

After New York City Mayor Eric Adams introduced a proposal to ban flavored milk in schools, Representative Elise Stefanik is looking to make sure that kids have options for milk in schools. Stefanik is introducing the ‘Protecting School Milk Choices Act of 2022′, in order to prevent the banning of flavored milk falling under the federal school lunch program.

Stefanik stated: “Our dairy farmers in Upstate New York and the North Country work hard to produce nutritious milk for our communities, and I am proud to introduce legislation to ensure a variety of milk choices for our school children. Instead of taking away milk choices from students, my bill will give them better access to essential dairy nutrients critical for their development. Let our New York students drink chocolate milk!”
