The proposed flavored-milk moratorium has been adopted by major cities like Washington, DC and San Francisco and was first floated by the feds earlier this year.
published in the National Library of Medicine found that flavored skim milk was the leading source of added sugar in school meals.
“We want to take a product that most kids like and that has nine essential nutrients in it and say, ‘You can’t drink this, you have to drink plain?’” Katie Wilson, executive director of the Urban School Food Alliance, which represents 18 of the largest school districts in the country, asked.Federal regulators were also conflicted, saying they were torn between banning flavored milk, or allowing it options with no more than 10 grams of added sugars in each 8-ounce portion to be served.
“We really do want to encourage children to consume milk and we also recognize the need to reduce added-sugar consumption.”
