Food Package III: Medically Fragile Participants

Food Package III Medically Fragile Women, Infants, and Children

 

Medically Fragile Participants

 

Food Package III is issued to women, children, and infants who have a documented qualifying medical condition that requires use of a WIC formula (infant formula, exempt infant formula, or WIC-eligible nutritional) because the use of conventional foods is precluded, restricted, or inadequate to address their special nutritional needs. 

Food Package III provides formula and foods that meet special dietary needs for participants with medically documented qualifying conditions. The full maximum monthly allowances must be made available if medically or nutritionally warranted.
