Infant formula on the Massachusetts list 51

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 →

Questions

Where does this Massachusetts WIC food list come from?

From the Massachusetts Department of Public Health, WIC Program Authorized Product List file (As of September 1, 2026). We download the file, put each barcode under a food group and compare it with the other lists. The official page is linked above; it is the authority.

How current is the Massachusetts list?

As of September 1, 2026. We check every state's file about once a month and show each list's own date.

Is everything on the Massachusetts list sold in every store?

No. The list says what may be bought with WIC in Massachusetts; each store stocks its own items, and store brands appear only where that chain operates.

What about infant formula in Massachusetts?

The Massachusetts list includes 18 standard formula barcodes (Similac 17, Enfamil 1) and 33 exempt formulas. The formula on your benefits is set by your WIC clinic.
