For The Betterment of Public Health Since 1791

New foods are coming to the WIC Nutrition Program this October.

Families receiving WIC services will soon be able to purchase whole grain bread, brown rice, whole wheat tortillas, canned beans, soy milk and tofu, baby food fruits, vegetables and meat, as well as up to $10 monthly of fruits and vegetables.

Help families start healthy habits now, by encouraging them to:

• Breastfeed their baby exclusively for 6 months
  
• Switch to 1% milk for everyone over age 2
  
• Eat more fruits and vegetables every day
  
• Drink less juice and sweetened beverages
  
• Eat whole grain breads and cereals

Contact the State WIC office for more information about the changes or to request an in-service for your office at 1-800-942-4321 or email lissa.a.sirois@dhhs.state.nh.us
