What's World School Milk Day?

WSMD is an annual dairy celebration that takes place on the last Wednesday of September. It's a day dedicated to all the important health benefits linked to increased milk consumption, including:

  • Improved bone health
  • Reduced risk of type 2 diabetes
  • Reduced risk of cardiovascular disease
  • Daily source of protein, calcium and vitamin D1

Cereal is also a valuable source of nutrition for students in K-12 schools. Students who eat cereal receive these additional nutrients in their diet compared to their peers who don't:

  • 72% more vitamin D
  • 69% more iron
  • 58% more vitamin A
  • 60% more whole grains
  • 27%-103% more B-vitamins2

Why cereal milk?

From boutique dessert shops to large restaurant chains, cereal milk-flavored drinks, ice cream and more are all the rage. Trendy dessert shops like Milk Bar and Treats Cereal Bar & Boba put their own unique spin on cereal milk. This sensation is the kind of fun, hands-on food experience that Generation Z seeks out.
