The Whole Milk for Healthy Kids Act of 2025 is a federal statute signed into law by President Donald Trump on January 14, 2026, following its final passage in the House of Representatives in December 2025. Considered a priority of the Make America Healthy Again movement, it was the first major legislative revision to school meal policy in the United States since the Healthy, Hunger-Free Kids Act of 2010.
The act reverses many of the restrictions of the Healthy, Hunger-Free Kids Act signed by President Barack Obama, including allowing schools to serve whole or 2% milk instead of mandating skim milk. It also permits schools to offer nondairy milk options to students and requires schools to honor parental requests for nondairy milk, eliminating previous requirements for a doctor's note.
Following the bill's passage, social media accounts for the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services and the U.S. Department of Agriculture were noted for publishing milk-related posts. This included a picture of Trump edited to give him a milk mustache, an AI-generated video of Robert F. Kennedy Jr. taking a sip of milk and being transported to a nightclub, and a video of anti-transgender activist and former collegiate swimmer Riley Gaines stating "The milk mustache is back."
