The Scientific Integrity of the WIC Food Package

The scientific integrity of the WIC food package is one of multiple factors that helps this federal nutrition program ensure the health and well being of participants. Reviewed every 10 years as mandated by the Healthy Hunger-Free Kids Act (of 2010), changes to the WIC food package have resulted in improved health outcomes. From increased fruit and vegetable consumption to increased access to health foods for entire communities including non-WIC participants, this video talks about how WIC not only helps to fight hunger in America but it also improves participants' nutritional health.

I wish we could get full fat milk, and less sugary juice and ultra processed cereals. More proteins would be nice. Most of the wick package just spikes my blood sugar and I have to stay away from but I’m grateful for things like eggs or anything high protein and hopefully I can get some full fat milk

I Thank you for these videos, like you I found that working at clinics or other locations as a nutritionist were not for me. Working at wic is my goal, I just graduated with my masters in nutrition and am trying to get into wic. Your videos are helping me prepare for interviews and simply get to know the program the best I can. Helping my community especially mothers and children is my passion. They are our future and they deserve access to what wic offers. Thanks again!

Will juice ever be eliminated from the food package now that fruits and vegetables have been added?
