Table 1 Footnotes: (abbreviations in order of appearance in table): FF = fully formula fed; BF/FF = partially breastfed (i.e., the infant is breastfed
  but also receives formula from the WIC Program in an amount not to exceed approximately half the amount of formula allowed for a fully formula fed
  infant); BF = fully breastfed (i.e., the infant receives no formula through the WIC program).
\1\ Table 4 of paragraph (e)(12) of this section describes the minimum requirements and specifications for the supplemental foods.
\2\ The powder form is the form recommended for partially breastfed infants, ages 1 through 3 months in Food Package I.
\3\ The maximum monthly allowance is specified in reconstituted fluid ounces for liquid concentrate, ready-to-feed (RTF) liquid, and powder forms of
  infant formula and exempt infant formula. Reconstituted fluid ounce is the form prepared for consumption as directed on the container.
\4\ Only infant formula may be issued for infants in Food Packages I and II. Exempt infant formula may only be issued for infants in Food Package III.
\5\ If powder infant formula is provided, State agencies must provide at least the number of reconstituted fluid ounces as the maximum allowance for the
  liquid concentrate form of the same product in the same Food Package up to the maximum monthly allowance for powder. State agencies must issue whole
  containers that are all the same size.
\6\ State agencies may round up and disperse whole containers of infant formula over the food package timeframe to allow participants to receive the
  full authorized nutritional benefit (FNB). State agencies must use the methodology described in accordance with paragraph (h)(1) of this section.
\7\ State agencies may round up and disperse whole containers of infant foods (infant cereal, fruits and vegetables, and meat) over the Food Package
  timeframe. State agencies must use the methodology described in accordance with paragraph (h)(2) of this section.
\8\ Fresh banana may replace up to 16 ounces of baby food fruit at a rate of 1 pound of bananas per 8 ounces of baby food fruit.
