The WIC program is required to have a contract with one specific formula company to help keep costs down. After the recall from Abbott and the nationwide formula shortage, the USDA temporarily allowed WIC programs to offer alternative brand options of formula to help make sure families were more likely to find formula for their baby. Consistent with USDA guidance, alternative formula brand options are no longer available starting June 1. You will only be able to purchase the formula listed on your WIC shopping list or the app. If you can’t find the can size listed or have questions about your formula, please contact your WIC office.
