First negligent offenses receive a warning and a reasonable opportunity to obtain milk.
Independent Public-Interest Advocacy Coalition
Protein deserves better.
Water is essential to human life. It is not, however, an acceptable substitute for milk when a person has knowingly committed to making a protein shake.

The Watery Protein Crisis
This is not merely a matter of preference.
Substituting water for milk materially alters viscosity, suspended-solids behavior, flavor-carrier performance, caloric density and overall organoleptic integrity. The result may remain technically drinkable, but drinkability alone is an unacceptably low standard for a civilized protein beverage.
Wisconsin has a uniquely compelling interest. Every avoidable water-based shake represents a theoretical lost opportunity for dairy utilization and an unnecessary erosion of the state's proud relationship with milk.
Legislative Proposal 2026-001
The Protein Shake Integrity Act of 2026

Knowing and repeat violations may result in civil forfeitures and remedial dairy-integrity education.
Enforce
Aggravated misconduct is proposed as an arrestable offense, subject to appropriate legislative drafting and review.
Recognize
