Strengthening our Servicemembers with Milk Act
HR 9715, the "Strengthening our Servicemembers with Milk Act," requires the Secretary of Defense to provide various types of milk - including unflavored, organic, lactose-free, and fat-free options - at military dining facilities for active-duty members of the Armed Forces. The bill mandates that milk must be available in multiple varieties to accommodate dietary preferences and needs. It also prohibits purchasing milk from entities owned or controlled by foreign adversaries, as defined by existing regulations. This policy change directly affects military personnel dining at installations nationwide, ensuring broader milk access while restricting certain procurement sources.
