Illinois researchers receive SARE grant to reduce milk waste in childcare settings
URBANA, Ill. — More than two-thirds of U.S. preschoolers attend childcare, where they consume daily meals and snacks. Part of the meal requirements include serving milk. However, up to 40% of the milk served by childcare staff is wasted. Wasted milk has obvious financial consequences, but there are also important nutritional and environmental concerns.
To address these issues, a team of research and Extension staff at the University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign are working with childcare centers to reduce milk waste
