Pa. House approves schools serving whole milk
4/14/2022
The Pennsylvania House overwhelmingly adopted legislation that would allow schools to serve whole milk, which is restricted by federal mandates that require schools to offer either skim or 1% milk. Officials say it is unclear whether the bill would hold up in court if it is challenged, though bill sponsor Rep. John Lawrence says the measure was created to ensure that the milk is processed and sold in Pennsylvania and therefore would not fall under the federal government's regulation of interstate commerce.
