Infant formula on the Washington list 20

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 →
