WIC 400-14 SECTION: Food Delivery

SUBJECT: New Special Formula and Food Product Approval

POLICY New products will be considered for approval for addition to the approved formula and food list on an annual basis in an effort to more effectively utilize staffing resources and research and inventory new formulas and medical foods. Only formulas/medical foods and foods that are approved by USDA shall be considered for authorization for use in the Connecticut WIC program. New product approval can encompass reformulations of previously approved products. The State agency also reserves the right to add formulas to its approved lists at any time during the year if the product will meet a previously unmet need in the clinical field. If products are added in between the annual cycle, local agencies and vendors will be informed in a timely manner via the local agency memorandum process and/or vendor bulletins.
