Food Assistance: FNS Could Take Additional Steps to Contain WIC Infant Formula Costs
The Special Supplemental Nutrition Program for Women, Infants and
Children (WIC) provides food, nutrition education, and health
care referrals to close to 8 million low-income pregnant and
postpartum women, infants, and young children each year. About a
quarter of these participants are served using rebate savings
from contracts with infant formula manufacturers. WIC is
administered by the Department of Agriculture's Food and
Nutrition Service (FNS). To better understand infant formula cost
containment, this report provides information on: (1) factors
that influence program spending on infant formula, (2) how the
level of savings resulting from infant formula cost containment
has changed and the implications of these changes for the number
of participants served; and (3) steps federal and state agencies
have taken to contain state spending on infant formula.
