The Special Supplemental Nutrition Program for Women, Infants, and Children Sample Clauses

The Special Supplemental Nutrition Program for Women, Infants, and Children. The Special Supplemental Nutrition Program for Women, Infants, and Children (WIC) began operating in 45 states in 1974 and targeted pregnant mothers and young children under the age of five who were suffering from malnutrition disorders, commonly associated with not receiving enough calories and nutrients28. Because of the prevalence of food insecurity among pregnant women and young children, and health consequences of living chronically malnourished, WIC eligible foods tend to be more health-conscious than SNAP foods - focusing on foods low in sugar and high in whole grains, 100% fruit or vegetable juices, low-fat dairy products, and low-sugar infant products.29
