WIC is speaking with manufacturers and food distributors’ representatives to monitor WIC food availability and analyzing food redemption information to determine which WIC approved foods are being purchased during this time. As of now, WIC has not received any notifications that there are shortages of WIC foods. Shelves at the grocery store may be empty due to the increased demand during this time. But they will be restocked! Wisconsin WIC has also been approved by the USDA for temporary food waivers to allow participants to buy a larger variety of brands and package sizes until the end of May. More choices are available for whole wheat bread, 48 oz. juice and tofu. If one of your go-to WIC foods is not available, use the WICApp to do a food search or scan a similar item to see if it is approved. A list of temporarily approved foods was also texted to families recently.
