Are flavoured milks allowed?
It has proved very difficult, at this stage, for manufacturers to produce milk and fruit juice combination drinks. Therefore, to ensure that there are sufficient milk drinks available to provide children with the calcium they need, the final School Food Regulations (2007) allow flavoured milk drinks. These drinks must contain at least 90% low fat or lactose reduced milk (milk where the fat content has been reduced to no more than 1.8%) and may contain vitamins and minerals. Less than 5% added sugar or honey may be added to the milk component of the drink. Flavoured milk drinks may also contain additives and flavourings permitted by EU law.
