The second graders at my son's school raise butterflies as part of their science unit. I got a call from the nurse today saying that the teacher had contacted the company to find out what's in the food that's put in the little cups with the caterpillars. They confirmed that it does, indeed, have milk protein in it. Ugh... So the teacher is putting it into the cups for everyone this year and they'll wash up after handling the closed cups when they do their observations.
The good part is that I'm super thrilled that his teacher contacted the company and modified her lesson plan. I was approached with a solution that feels comfortable to me and couldn't be happier with that piece of it. But man, really? Of all the places to find milk...
