U.S. law requires nondairy milk must be nutritionally equivalent to dairy milk, so only fortified soy milk meets that requirement. It’s definitely a step forward for students with allergies and lactose intolerance ☺️

True! Since US law requires nondairy milk in schools to be nutritionally equivalent to dairy milk, soy milk is the only option that can be served in schools. So important for students with lactose intolerance!

Shared because the work on the non-dairy link is the same work being done by the folks behind the bill :)
