New Milk Announcement

Published July 7, 2011

In an effort to provide students with the healthiest food options available, the Williamson County Schools Food Nutrition Department is changing the type of milk that is served in school cafeterias.  The district is converting all chocolate and strawberry milk to a more wholesome product called TruMoo.

"TruMoo chocolate milk has fewer calories and less sugar than our previous chocolate milk and is made without high fructose corn syrup," said WCS Food Service Director James Remete.  "It is fat-free with 130 calories and 22 grams of sugar."

By switching to TruMoo chocolate milk, Williamson County Schools will be following updated government regulations, which call for schools to serve only low-fat unflavored milk or fat-free flavored milk beginning in 2012.  TruMoo chocolate milk meets all of the proposed USDA requirements.

"Williamson County Schools cares deeply about each child’s nutrition," said Remete.  "We see TruMoo as a great solution to provide our students with the nutrients they need in an improved formula we know they'll enjoy."
