INFANT Act of 2025
This bill changes how state agencies purchase infant formula for the WIC program. It requires selecting two manufacturers through competitive bidding (instead of one) and designates one as primary and one as secondary for each state's contract. This aims to improve supply chain reliability and access for WIC participants - low-income pregnant women, infants, and children. The policy directly affects all states administering WIC formula contracts under the Child Nutrition Act.
