World School Milk Day highlights nutrition technology and policy changes
On World School Milk Day, organizations highlighted advancements in school nutrition and the technology used to deliver safe dairy products to students.
Tetra Pak reported that in 2025, 68 million children across 52 countries received milk or nutritious beverages in their packaging. The company emphasized the role of UHT processing and aseptic packaging, which allow milk to be distributed and stored without refrigeration, making it a viable option for regions lacking a consistent cold chain.
In the United States, the Dairy Council of California noted increased flexibility in school meal programs. Following the implementation of the Whole Milk for Healthy Kids Act and a USDA final rule, schools can now offer a wider variety of milk options, including whole and reduced-fat varieties, to better align with nutritional science and student preferences.
