Infant formula on the Michigan list 59

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 Michigan WIC food list come from?

From the Michigan Department of Health and Human Services, WIC Division Authorized Product List file (Run date October 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 Michigan list?

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

Is everything on the Michigan list sold in every store?

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

What about infant formula in Michigan?

The Michigan list includes 29 standard formula barcodes (Enfamil 12, Similac 11, EleCare 6) and 30 exempt formulas. The formula on your benefits is set by your WIC clinic.
