    • Up to 3 quarts of milk instead of cheese
  • More plant-based options
    • More beans, peas, or peanut butter instead of eggs
    • Additional plant-based milks, including oat and pea milk
  • More formula to support mostly breastfed infants during their first month of life

The following items will no longer be WIC eligible:
