These milks are allowed at state agency option. They do not require medical documentation. Are flavored soy-based beverages that meet the nutrient standards allowed? Are WIC participants able to choose the brand of infant formula for their infant?
WIC state agencies are responsible for identifying the types and brands of infant formulas that are authorized for use in their WIC Programs. WIC state agencies are required to have a competitively bid, solesource rebate contract with a manufacturer of infant formulas. Under such an agreement, most healthy WIC infants may be provided either a milk-based or soy-based iron-fortified infant formula produced by the manufacturer awarded the contract.
Infants who have special dietary needs are provided an appropriate alternative formula, in accordance with state WIC policies and Federal regulations. WIC rebate contracts and policies vary by state, therefore the types and brands of infant formula will vary by state. Medical documentation is required for the issuance of exempt infant formulas and WIC eligible nutritionals.
Medical documentation means a determination by a licensed health care professional authorized to write medical prescriptions under state law that the participant has a qualifying condition that dictates the use of these formulas because the use of conventional foods is precluded or restricted. State agencies also determine the qualifying conditions that require the use of an exempt infant formula or WIC eligible nutritionals.
Please contact the Mississippi WIC program to learn about the exempt infant formulas and WIC eligible nutritionals authorized on their food list, and their policy for providing non-contract brand of infant formulas to participants.
