Proposed Rule: WIC Online Ordering and Transactions
FNS proposes to remove barriers to online ordering and internet-based transactions in WIC to improve the shopping experience while increasing equity and access to nutritious foods for WIC participants.
The WIC program aims to safeguard the health of low-income women, infants, and children up to age 5 who are at nutrition risk by providing nutritious foods to supplement diets, information on healthy eating, and referrals to health care.
