The Special Supplemental Nutrition Program for Women, Infants, and
Children (WIC) began 40 years ago as a pilot program and has since
grown to serve over 8 million pregnant women, and mothers of and
their infants and young children. Today the program serves more
than a quarter of the pregnant women and half of the infants in the
United States, at an annual cost of about $6.2 billion. Through its
contribution to the nutritional needs of pregnant, breastfeeding,
and post-partum women; infants; and children under 5 years of age;
this federally supported nutrition assistance program is integral
to meeting national nutrition policy goals for a significant
portion of the U.S. population. To assure the continued success of
the WIC, Congress mandated that the Food and Nutrition Service of
the U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) reevaluate the program's
food packages every 10 years. In 2014, the USDA asked the Institute
of Medicine to undertake this reevaluation to ensure continued
alignment with the goals of the Dietary Guidelines for Americans.
This, the second report of this series, provides a summary of the
work of phase I of the study, and serves as the analytical
underpinning for phase II in which the committee will report its
final conclusions and recommendations. Table of Contents Front
