Viva Milk - Milk matters!

They’ve already had some great ideas and formal laboratory work has commenced – all top secret for now, but watch this space. Each VIVA 200ml Flavoured Milk Drink provides 30% of the Reference Intake of Calcium and 40% of the Reference Intake of Vitamin D. Biodegradable plastic straws are available but the jury’s out – they’re not as easy to recycle as other plastics, and they only break down in certain conditions so if they get in the rivers and oceans, they ‘re just as harmful as “normal” plastic.At Lincoln Carlton Academy, we are proud to have trialled the use of reusable milk bottles,” enthused Mrs Malam, Headteacher.
