Really great updates to #WIC summarized in the link below, including (1) an increase in the cash value benefit to meet 50% of recommended #fruits & #vegetables, (2) more opportunities for #seafood, (3) access wider range of foods that reflect the diversity of program beneficiaries, and (4) more package size flexibility.

There is a comment period through 2/21/2023 on regulations.gov. They might even require canned beans to be offered OMG.
