Cold Milk is Cool in Blue Mountain Elementary Cressona’s Cafeteria
PHILADELPHIA (February 21, 2008) – Ice cold is cool, at least when it comes to milk at Harrison Elementary in Trenton, N.J.
Ensuring cold milk for students paid off for Misty Capanas, health and physical education teacher, who won a new black and white cow-spotted milk cooler with a built-in digital thermometer for her school cafeteria by monitoring the temperature inside the milk cooler. Mid-Atlantic Dairy Association sponsored the “Strive for 35o” milk temperature survey to reinforce the importance of storing and serving milk ice cold at school. Capanas’s survey was randomly selected from all entries from New Jersey.
“I’m elated to win the new cooler,” said Dedra Wood, district foodservice director. “We’re making great strides towards healthier schools and implementing our wellness policy. Ice-cold milk is a critical for a healthy student body.”
Temperature is a key component of the taste and appeal of milk for everyone, but especially for kids who are more likely to choose milk with their meals when it’s served between 35 degrees and 40 degrees. Properly chilled milk stays fresh longest at this temperature, according to National Dairy Council®.
“It is essential to make sure milk is served at a temperature that children prefer,” said Janette Carpentier, vice president of school marketing, Mid-Atlantic Dairy Association. “With nine essential nutrients, including calcium and vitamin D to build strong bones, milk is a vital part of a healthy school meal. All foodservice staff should take a time each day to monitor the temperature of milk coolers and strive for 35 degrees.”
Mid-Atlantic Dairy Association, an affiliate of the National Dairy Council, provides nutrition education programs and services to schools in the Mid-Atlantic region. For more information, visit dairyspot.com.
