Temporary Formula Change

Attention WIC Participants

New York State WIC has temporarily added more container sizes and types of powdered formula to help you find formula for your baby at the store without updating your eWIC Card. If you have questions please see the picture below.  You can also call the WIC office at 607-737-2039.

You can find more information and a link to this guide online here: https://www.health.ny.gov/prevention/nutrition/wic/approved_formulas.htm
