Dear Parents, Guardians, and Community Members, This message concerns the white milk distributed with summer meals on Thursday, June 12th, and Friday, June 13th. We've confirmed with our distributor that the UHT (Ultra-High Temperature) white milk delivered on these dates shows signs of separation. While we have no further details from the distributor at this time, this issue appears to be limited to the white milk with an expiration date of October 2nd, 2025. This likely impacts all white milk distributed on June 12th and 13th.. Out of an abundance of caution, we kindly ask that you discard any white milk you received as part of your summer meal delivery on these dates. We are actively working to secure an alternative product for all future meal deliveries. For your reference, we have attached images of the affected product. We apologize for any inconvenience this may cause and appreciate your understanding as we work to ensure the quality and safety of our summer meal program. Sincerely, Erik Young Superintendent
