Due to the Similac formula recall, WIC participants are able to redeem their formula benefits for alternative brands.
WIC participants are also now allowed to get approved larger cans (27.4-33.2 oz). These larger cans will take 2 cans off of your WIC benefits so you will get the same amount of formula whether you get small or large cans.
You can use the WIC shopper app to scan the barcode to make sure the formula will work with your WIC benefits on your card. You do not need to come into the WIC office to update your card to get different brands or sizes.
Please be patient with the retailers as they are trying to restock formula as quickly as they can. It is not safe to feed homemade formulas or toddler formulas to infants, it does not have what your baby needs.
If you have any questions or need assistance, you can call our WIC office at 660-395-4711.
