If you or your child have a food allergy or intolerance and need to change a food in your food package, talk to your WIC counselor during your appointment or send a text to 91997.īenefits for every family member enrolled in WIC will be added to your WIC card. Some alternatives are available to accommodate food allergies or intolerances. You can buy any 16-ounce WIC-approved whole grain from any WIC-approved store, no matter the price. For example, your food package may include a credit for 16 ounces of whole grains each month. All other benefits are a credit on your WIC card. A dollar amount is added to your WIC card for fruits and vegetables. The dollar value of each WIC food package depends on your (or your child’s) preferences or medical needs and where you shop. Food packages vary to ensure each family member’s nutrition requirements are met as their needs change. WIC-approved foods provide optimal nutrition to support maternal health and child development.
