Executive Summary
WIC MEDICAL DOCUMENTATION FOR ALL NONCONTRACT FORMULAS by an authorized medical professional would be required under a proposed rule published by the Department of Agriculture Food and Nutrition Service in the July 16 Federal Register. The proposed rule "would include all noncontract formulas among those formulas requiring medical documentation whether or not they comply with the requirements of an iron-fortified infant formula" as defined in regulations. Noncontract formulas are those brands or types of infant formulas not included in a particular state's contract with an infant formula manufacturer issued under the Special Supplemental Nutrition Program for Women, Infants & Children.
