In July of 2022, the Access to Baby Formula Act of 2022 was signed into law.

The USDA, FDA, and other federal partners continue to work diligently to protect the health infants who are fed using infant formula. 

All WIC state agencies (SAs), including Indian Tribal Organizations and U.S. Territories, help to safeguard the health of WIC infants through oversight of WIC vendors in their purchase of infant formula. This includes ensuring WIC authorized vendors purchase infant formula only from the SA’s list of licensed wholesalers, distributors, retailers, and FDA-registered infant formula manufacturers. This oversight limits the risk of stolen or adulterated infant formula being sold to WIC participants.
