Announcement from the Wisconsin Department of Public Instruction (DPI) School Nutrition Team
SchoolMealsNews Bulletin - Milk Shortages
The DPI Nutrition Teams have been made aware of issues regarding milk shortages. USDA regulations, NSLP 7 CFR 210.10(d)(2)(i) and SFSP 7 CFR 225.16(f)(6), state that if emergency conditions temporarily prevent a school that normally has a supply of fluid milk from obtaining delivery of such milk, the State agency may allow the school to serve meals during the emergency period with an alternate form of fluid milk or without fluid milk.
If you are participating in the National School Lunch’s Seamless Summer Option (SSO) or the Summer Food Service Program (SFSP) and are having difficulty obtaining fluid milk that fits the meal pattern, please complete the “Milk Flexibility Request” on the Child Nutrition Programs COVID-19 Information webpage. The Nutrition Teams will work as quickly as we can to review and email the approvals.
