WIC Food Package Costs and Cost Containment Study

The purpose of the study is to gather information on the major types of cost containment practices used by the 90 WIC SAs, assess the effectiveness of various practices, and identify those practices that effectively constrain the cost of WIC foods with few or no adverse effects on program outcomes. FNS will use the findings to share with WIC SAs food item cost containment practices that are effective at reducing WIC food costs.
