The "Freedom in School Cafeterias and Lunches Act," or FISCAL Act, proposes significant amendments to the Richard B. Russell National School Lunch Act . Its primary goal is to broaden the types of milk available to students participating in the National School Lunch Program . Specifically, the bill mandates that schools offer a variety of milk, explicitly including both fluid milk and plant-based milk options. For plant-based milks not covered by existing guidelines, the Secretary is empowered to establish appropriate nutritional standards. These changes aim to provide students with more dietary choices while maintaining nutritional integrity within the school lunch program.
