WIC approved foods are good sources of important nutrients. No single food supplies all the nutrients you need, so eat a variety of different foods every day to stay healthy.
WIC Food Packages provide a variety of foods but not everything you need. Adding your WIC foods to foods you usually eat will help you have a healthier diet. The food package you receive depends upon whether you are pregnant or breastfeeding, and the age of your child.
Some of the foods you may receive:
Pregnant, breastfeeding, and postpartum women, and children one to five years of age may receive:
- Skim, 0%, 1/2%, or 1% Milk
- Natural cheese
- Eggs
- Yogurt
- Iron-fortified cereal
- Vitamin C rich juice
- Dry beans, peas, or peanut butter
- Canned beans
- Tuna (as applicable)
- Pink salmon (as applicable)
- Fresh fruits and vegetables
- 100% whole wheat bread
- Tortillas
- Brown rice
- Whole Wheat Pasta
Infants may receive:
- Special breastfeeding support or infant formula for the first year
- Infant cereal starting around six months
- Phase two fruits and veggies
- Pureed meats at an appropriate age
