Food Package Updates

New WIC food package regulations offer WIC participants a wider array of foods to align with current Dietary Guidelines for Americans and reflect recommendations from the National Academies of Sciences, Engineering and Medicine. Food package changes in June 2025 are part of a phased approach to implement the new regulations which must be completed in 2026, with the exception of yogurt in 2027.
