To amend the Child Nutrition Act of 1966 to set maximum monthly allowances for milk under the special supplemental nutrition program for women, infants, and children.
HR 8850 amends the Child Nutrition Act to establish specific maximum monthly milk allowances for participants in the WIC program. It directly affects pregnant women, new mothers, infants, and children enrolled in WIC who receive milk as part of their food packages. The bill sets new caps: 16 quarts per month for Food Package IV, and 22 quarts for Packages V and VI, with 24 quarts for Package VII. These changes create clear, fixed limits on the amount of milk provided under the program, replacing previous flexible allowances.
