AFBF President Zippy Duvall on Thursday applauded Senate passage of the bipartisan Whole Milk for Healthy Kids Act of 2025.
“This is a win-win for kids and dairy farmers because the nutritional benefits of whole milk are now broadly known,” Duvall said in a statement. “By lifting the restrictions on whole and reduced-fat 2% milk in schools, kids have more access to important protein, calcium and vitamins. Because school milk accounts for almost 8% of fluid milk demand, it’s a significant market driver, too.
“Many thanks to the bipartisan leadership from Sens. Welch and Marshall as well as that from Chairman Boozman and Ranking Member Klobuchar for getting the bill across the finish line in the Senate. I urge the House to act quickly to get it to President Trump’s desk.”
