NCT ID NCT07595562
First seen Jun 26, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This study will offer soy milk alongside cow's milk to 2,500 students in 11 New York City public schools. Researchers want to see if kids choose and drink soy milk, and whether offering it reduces milk waste. The goal is to understand the potential nutrition, environmental, and cost benefits of adding soy milk to school lunch lines.
