Starting April 13, 2026, the WIC food list is getting an upgrade! Thank you to WIC parents, staff, and community partners who spoke up about the changes they would like to see. New options will offer more variety and flexibility.
More details will be shared in April 2026. Here’s a sneak peek at some of the upcoming changes.
What’s New?
- more whole grain foods, like corn masa flour, pita bread, whole wheat bagels, and whole wheat English muffins
- more plant-based milk options
- cash value option for fruits and vegetables (fresh, frozen, or canned) instead of jarred baby foods
- canned fish (tuna, salmon, sardines) for parents and children over age 1
- more yogurt flavors to choose from
