Milk tastes best when it’s icy cold. Poor flavor is the most common reason students don’t select milk with school meals and miss out on the important nutrients milk provides. Improper storage and service temperature are factors that can affect milk taste. This 30-minute webinar will address the declining milk consumption in youth in New England, milk’s unique nutrient package, and how it can help make up for nutritional shortfalls in the diets of students. Participants will review HACCP principals related to receiving, storing and serving cold foods like milk as well as best practices for serving great tasting milk.
Farmers work hard to provide safe, high quality milk. Hear how dairy farmer Nicole Fletcher, from Fletcher Farm in Massachusetts, manages the milk her farm produces before it gets to your school.
