The WIC program is required to have a contract with a specific formula company to help keep costs down. There are separate contracts for milk-based and soy-based formulas. We renew these contracts every five years. The award for the contract from October 2022–September 2027 for milk-based formula is Mead Johnson, the makers of Enfamil.
The milk-based formulas offered under the new contract include:
- Enfamil Infant
- Enfamil Gentlease
- Enfamil A.R.
- Enfamil Reguline
The soy-based formula contract will continue to be with Abbott, the makers of Similac.
If your infant needs a formula for medical reasons, contact your WIC office for assistance.
