The federal government also buys all the surplus milk from a dehydrating company. They then ship it to one of two companies in the US that rewets it, emulsifies it, adds vitamin D and trace minerals, pay for it in 2,000 pound sacks, then send it to warehouses until it's use by date expires, send it to a landfill, and repeat.
