Minnesota HF3812 clarifies milk offerings for national school lunch program participants.

Minnesota HF3812 amends the state statutes to clarify milk offerings for participants in the national school lunch program. The bill specifies that schools must offer a variety of fluid milk options, including flavored and unflavored organic or nonorganic whole, reduced-fat, low-fat, and fat-free milk, as well as nondairy beverages that meet USDA nutritional standards. Additionally, if a nonpublic school receives school lunch aid and a pupil is lactose intolerant, the school must provide lactose-reduced milk, milk fortified with lactase, or milk with lactobacillus acidophilus added.
