Our flavored milks are now sweetened with natural, evaporated cane juice. Natural cane sugar comes from the pressing or milling of sugarcane. The juice is made into a syrup where the crystals will grow as the mixture is boiled. The final mixture, called massecuite (a combination of crystals and molasses), is put into a centrifugal where it is spun to separate the molasses from the crystals and then "washed" with hot water to remove any excess molasses. The end product is natural cane sugar which contains a hint of molasses in its crystals. We have created a great tasting product that kids love and parents can feel good about serving.
Researchers analyzed food consumption data from the Nutrition Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (NHANES) and found that flavored milk contributed only 2 percent of total added sugar in childrens diets, compared to 50 percent or more added by soft drinks.

Kids are in a calcium crisis-they need more milk more often and flavored milk can help close this gap. Currently, more than half of children ages 2-8 and three quarters of children ages 9-19 do not get the recommended daily servings of low fat or fat free milk or milk products. Flavored milk delivers the nutrition that kids need. Flavored milk can be a delicious alternative to other beverages for kids and adults due to the fact that flavored milks are often more acceptable to people who do not drink white milk. Research has shown that adding sugar to a beverage can increase the appeal of nutrient rich beverages and provide additional choices for children as part of a healthy diet. Also, flavored milk does not have as much sugar as a fruit drink or even a carbonated soft drink. While flavored milk contains both natural sugar and added sugar it only contains about 4 teaspoons of added sugar. An 8 oz portion of fruit punch contains about 6 teaspoons of sugar and an 8 oz carbonated beverage contains roughly 7 teaspoons. In looking at this sugar comparison, flavored milk truly is a smart choice for kids and adults. Plus, when you drink flavored milk, you are getting the 9 essential vitamins and minerals in every serving. Carbonated beverages and fruit drinks do not have the nutrients that milk has.
The Dietary Guidelines for Americans 2005 recommends three daily servings of low fat or fat free milk, cheese or yogurt and calls for the Milk Group as a Food Group to Encourage. When children drink milk at lunch, they have higher intakes of several important nutrients, including calcium, zinc, potassium and vitamins A and D. And when kids drink flavored milk, not only are they getting the same nutrition as plain white milk, they are consuming fewer nutrient void calories from soft drinks and fruit drinks.
Child Nutrition Directors today are faced with many challenges regarding the foods that they can and cannot serve.
