Similac Formula Recall – Update

Missouri WIC received a temporary waiver that allows you to redeem your Similac formula benefits for other brands of formula if Similac formula is not available at an authorized WIC retailer.

What does this mean? If you have formula benefits on your eWIC card, you can redeem those benefits for alternative brands of formula – WITHOUT having to come into the Health Department to update your eWIC card! This temporary waiver will carry over into March benefits as well!

You may begin to purchase these alternative brands of infant formula as early as February 25, 2022, depending on each individual retailer’s availability. You may only get the formula equivalent to the Similac formula on your eWIC benefits.

If you want to change your issued formula type, you can come into the Health Department to update your card.

If you have any questions or problems, call our office at 660-395-4711.  Please be patient with the stores as they make these changes and continue to make changes to help make the formula available to you.
