Infant Formula Safety Concerns

Some WIC participants have expressed concern about infant formula safety following the March 18 Consumer Reports publication. The Food and Drug Administration (FDA) regulates infant formula and if they determine that a formula is unsafe, they will remove it from the market. As a result of this report, the FDA announced a new initiative to strengthen its oversight of the formula industry, including increased testing for heavy metals and other contaminants. Currently, the FDA has not determined that any formulas in U.S. commerce are unsafe and require market removal. Our WIC team will keep participants updated if anything changes.

南卡罗来纳州WIC计划是一项补充营养计划。它不是提供婴儿或儿童每月可能需要的所有配方奶粉。我们的计划与雀巢公司签订了提供婴儿配方奶粉的合同(Good Start Gentle、Good Start Soy和Good Start Soothe)。

对于需要“特殊”配方奶粉的婴儿,需要文件证明。您的医疗保健提供者必须填写 WIC Medical Documentation Form for Formula (pdf). To ensure our program continues to offer the highest level of services we have created a Medical Referral Form (pdf). The purpose of the form is to collect accurate and up-to-date anthropometric data. Your office may have clients request the form be filled out for their next WIC appointment, or it can be used to refer a new client who would benefit from WIC’s services. To schedule a WIC appointment, please call 1-855-472-3432.
