USDA Might Ban Chocolate Milk From School Cafeterias

By Mandy Billings May 21, 2023 | 5:59 AM

(Washington, DC) — The Agriculture Department could be moving to ban flavored milk from school cafeterias. The USDA just closed the public comment period on changes in long-term school nutrition standards to cut down on added sugars in school lunch and breakfast programs.
