Clients will see three big changes in April issuance as WIC implements the 2024 USDA WIC Food Rule: fish, juice, and whole grains.
#1 Fish is no longer issued only to fully breastfeeding women. All clients (except infants) will get fish in their monthly food package in their April benefits. Children will get 6 oz. per month, pregnant and postpartum will get 10 oz. per month, partially breastfeeding will get 15 oz. per month, and fully breastfeeding will get 20 oz. per month.
#2 Juice is no longer issued in separate sizes to women and children; all clients (except infants) will get one container of 64 oz. bottled juice or 16 oz. frozen juice in their April benefits.
#3 Whole grains are issued by the ounce instead of by the pound. Children will get 24 oz. of whole grains per month, and women will get 48 oz. of whole grains per month. There will be more foods and sizes available with whole grain benefits, like larger loaves of bread, quinoa, and much more.

Starting on April 1, 2026, WIC clients will have more choices than ever before when they shop for whole grains.
Clients will be able to choose any brand of these foods:
Whole wheat bread, bagels and buns in 12- to 24-ounce packages. No more looking for the pink sticker when shopping for bread.
Corn or whole wheat tortillas in 10- to 48-ounce packages.
Brown rice in 14- to 32-ounce packages.
Whole wheat pasta in 12- to 16-ounce packages.
Bulgur in 10- to 24-ounce packages. Bulgur is a grain made from cracked wheat that is often used in Middle Eastern and Mediterranean salads, soups or porridge.
These foods will be brand-specific, so clients will see the approved brands in the shopping guide:
Oatmeal in 16- to 42-ounce packages. This now includes steel cut oats.
Quinoa in 12- to 48-ounce packages. Quinoa is used in South American dishes and it can be served as a side dish like rice. It is high in protein and gluten-free.
Corn masa flour in 32-ounce packages. Corn masa flour is finely ground corn used to make dough for tortillas, tamales and other Central American dishes.
As a reminder, starting in April, families will see whole grains listed on their benefits in ounces instead of pounds. All children 1-5 years old will receive 24 ounces of whole grains, and women will receive 48 ounces of whole grains. This includes postpartum and some breastfeeding women, who did not receive whole grains before.
