WIC approved infant formula by state

Contract and exempt infant formulas. These change with each state's formula contract. How 14 state WIC lists compare.

288 barcodes on 14 lists2 on every list · 137 on only one list
Formula depends on your state's contract. State WIC agencies must hold down formula costs, usually with a single-supplier rebate contract (federal rule 7 CFR 246.16a), so the formula brand on one state's list may not be on the next state's, and it can change when a contract is rebid. Non-contract brands, specialty ("exempt") formulas and WIC-eligible nutritionals are issued only with medical documentation (7 CFR 246.10(d)). Your WIC clinic issues the exact formula, form and can size; check with them before buying. Formula on each list →
