Options have changed to meet new guidelines for added sugars. Vitamin D content was also a factor in our chosen yogurts. You’ll notice many of the flavored options have gone away (due to the sugar content). The joy of plain yogurt is that you can use it as a sweet OR a savory snack. Add fruit to plain yogurt and top with honey, maple syrup, or granola for a sweet snack. Add plain yogurt in place of sour cream on top of your baked potato, soup, or salsa for a savory snack.

The WIC food packages change on April 19th. Any questions? Reach out at 715-345-5744 or comment below.

Almond and cashew butter are new options in this WIC food category. Selected brands have protein and iron in amounts comparable to peanut butter. These expanded options keep our peanut free WIC families from missing out on these important meat alternatives.
