A bipartisan group of more than 50 House members urged USDA Secretary Tom Vilsack to make school low-fat flavored milk flexibility permanent. The USDA currently allows this flexibility through the 2021-22 school year.
The letter cites data showing 79% of 9 to 13-year-olds fall short of recommended dairy intake.
