The WIC Food Package

By National WIC Association

WIC provides a monthly food package (sometimes described as a food prescription) of nutritious foods tailored to supplement the dietary needs of participants to ensure good health, growth, and development. The foods are specifically chosen to provide consistency with the Dietary Guidelines for Americans and established dietary recommendations for infants and children under 2 years of age. The selected foods also reinforce WIC nutrition education messages, address emerging public health nutrition-related issues, and provide wide appeal to the diverse WIC population.
