REVISIONS TO THE WIC FOOD PACKAGES:
The final revisions to the WIC food packages are now published! Visit the FNS WIC Food Packages page to access the final rule, answers to common questions, and other information.
The final changes align with the latest nutrition science and provide more – more variety, more choice, and more flexibility for participants, as well as more support for breastfeeding participants to meet their individual goals. As with the previous revisions to the food packages, the scientifically based changes are designed to provide under-consumed nutrients to, and improve the nutrition and health of, WIC participants while also accommodating special dietary needs and personal and cultural food preferences.
WIC State agencies have up to two years to implement most of the changes to the food packages for participants. You can find information about implementation timelines in the final rule, linked to on the FNS WIC Food Packages page.
