Overall, inadequate evidence is available to support changing the concentration of iron that is currently required in WIC-eligible formulas. Energy Density of WIC-Approved Infant Formulas Formulas provided through WIC primary contracts must contain 20 kcal per ounce (kcal/oz)

Because fortified cereals are significant contributors to the overall micronutrient content of WIC food package grain foods, it is likely important to ensure the continuing palatability of RTE breakfast cereals. The 2015–2020 Dietary Guidelines for Americans (DGA)

a The cereal composite includes the top most commonly selected RTE cereals based on redemption data provided by states. b Assumes 0.7 mg of folic acid added per pound of corn masa flour, or 475 µg DFE for corn tortillas, based on the new FDA Final Rule for voluntary addition of folic acid to corn masa flour and a typical tortilla recipe.

Should future DGA change the recommendation on fat levels of milk, or should conclusive evidence on the differential health effects of dairy fat compared to other types of saturated fats become available, USDA-FNS or a future committee may reconsider the requirement that fluid milk be fat free or low fat for children and women. Vitamin D Fortification of Yogurts Vitamin D is a DGA nutrient of public health concern, and vitamin D status was poor among women participating in WIC.

Additional Fish Species and Wild Salmon In addition to considering the inclusion of fish in additional food packages, USDA-FNS requested that the committee consider the inclusion of additional fish species, and the inclusion of wild salmon. Fish species currently allowed by the Final Rule in food package VII may be light tuna, salmon, sardines, and mackerel, and states are required to make at least two options available to participants (USDA/FNS, 2014)

Jarred Infant Food Meat Substitutions Similar to fish in food packages for women and children, jarred infant food meat plays a very specific nutritional role in the food packages, that being to serve as a source of highly bioavailable iron and zinc. The committee explored other options including legume-based infant foods, canned legumes, eggs, and mixed dinners.

From page 735... ...
, but similarly, the quantity of iron per ounce and/or the bioavailability of iron is significantly lower compared to singleingredient products. Infants would need to consume an unreasonably large amount of legume-based or infant dinner products to achieve the same amount of iron intake in an equivalent volume of jarred infant food meats.
