The health shops make a killing on stuff like non-dairy chocolate (not that you would give that to a baby, I'm just making a general point).
It isn't as bad as when my brother was small however as places like ASDA do stock a lot more of those products now.
Don't forget that it is not just milk, the vouchers cover fresh fruit and veg which all children above weaning age need, as do breastfeeding mothers. The reason why it only covers fresh stuff is that salts and sugars are often added to tinned stuff and frozen stuff could come covered in batter, breadcrumbs etc.
