State university UASD rector Franklin Garcia Fermin held a press conference yesterday to confirm the scandalous results in tests on the Ministry of Education's public school breakfast drink. Blind tests by the UASD Agronomy Sciences School's milk lab, considered the best in the country, confirmed that samples of Ladom milk given to public schoolchildren contain minimal levels of protein and fat. The press conference was held after Ministry staff tried to disqualify the work of lab director Daysi de los Santos. The Education Ministry has denied that school breakfasts aren't nutritious and disputed the results. The issue was first reported by investigative journalist Nuria Piera. Daysi de los Santos, who is in charge of the Milk Training Center at the Agriculture Laboratories at the UASD confirmed that their testing had found that the sample milk only contained 0.76% protein, below the recommended 3%. In her TV report, Piera revealed that the Ministry has contracted 40% of breakfast drink supplies to Ladom. Piera also telephoned the company and confirmed that the minister's daughter was employed in a top management position at Ladom.
