An elementary school thought it was serving milk to students. Turns out it was floor sealant.

An investigation is underway at an Alaskan elementary school after a dozen students drank floor sealant they thought was milk, school officials announced Wednesday.

On Tuesday, students enrolled in a summer program at the Sitʼ Eeti Shaanáx̱ Glacier Valley Elementary School were served breakfast beginning at 8:45 a.m., according to a statement on the Juneau School District website.

A short time after, students began to complain about the milk tasting bad and burning their mouths and throat.

"It was found that the 'milk' served was actually a floor sealant resembling liquid milk," the statement said.

Another article said that the bags of milk looked like the bags of sealant.

From the product website, it looks like the sealant is available in 1 gal. jugs, 5 gal. bags, and 55 gal. drums.
