I can only think of two questions reading your post.

Are you living on planet earth? Yes
Do you have kids in school? Yes
And I still don't understand your questions. It might have something to do with living outside of NYC or Lakewood

I'm pretty sure it's a federal program

With all that whole milk you can make cheese!!!
You can make ricotta with just a bit of citric acid or salt and you can get cultures (3x re-culture for CY) online for other cheeses.

But the frum communities need to arrange it so their people can get kosher food.
Workflowy. You won't know what you're missing until you try it.

Not guaranteed kosher. Trust me we're trying in BOS. No go with city or state officials.

Blue (and green) milk is one of the biggest political scams of our lifetime. Since when is milk with a higher carbohydrate (sugars) concentration any better than milk with slightly higher fat content?

+1. Since when is fat bad? Full fat dairy products will fill you up for longer and prevents you from eating unhealthy alternatives when you get hungrier faster because you went skim. A reputable gastroenterologist pointed this out to me awhile ago and I haven't looked back since. Was very happy when gevina finally came out with a cholov yisroel whole milk greek yoghurt.

I know a school administrator who keeps cursing Michelle Obama for this, says she's the one responsible for this policy.

I personally drink green because I prefer the taste, but just for fun,
Grand idea for you, you can make from each bottle of red milk double, just dilute with equal amount of water :)

I personally drink green because I prefer the taste, but just for fun, I checked the Nutrition Facts, and carbohydrates are the same on red and green (12g), all sugar.

Nutritional "facts" are total fraud.

Case in point, look at the dietary fiber content and % of recommended daily values on these two packages (also why are serving sizes different on these very similar products?):



What you see on the milk packages might be a result of rounding. I've seen packages that clearly had more sugars on the blue vs red.

I'm sure DDF health & nutrition resident expert @chevron will back me up on this. It's a simple rule of physics, if some of the volume is occupied by fat, there will be less volume of other content (including sugars). It is also know that fats slow the absorption of carbs. That's a good thing.
I've been waiting over 5 years with bated breath for someone to say that!

If I had a nickel for every time I've heard that, I'd be rich, but it makes no sense.  A cup of skim milk has no fat, while a cup with half red milk and half water does have fat.  I would do a taste test, but I hate the sliminess of the fat.

So just use water with a tiny drop of milk for color. The amount of fat will be so negligible that even the most politically motivated fraudulent "nutrition facts" authority would count it as 0.

I'm assuming the 2 cereals have different densities. (To me it seems that the Rice Chex are lighter than the Corn Chex.)

This. They are going based on weight and then converting to cups. So if they both used the same weight you would have an odd cup measurement (do you want the serving to be 1.356754 cups?)

And regarding your question about the dietary fiber, they give measurements based on whole numbers. And the percentage are based on the actual content (so one could be 1.7 and the other 2.2, which would account for the difference
Life isn't about checking the boxes. Nobody cares.

I do not have any citation to quote, just my plain old healthy gut critical thinking instincts.

Could you please advise on the process food manufacturers/processors/packagers go through in order to produce said labels.

Yet they are using different weights for serving size too (39g vs 40g). So your theory might be flawed.
