Texas WIC Contract Formulas
Federal regulations require all WIC programs to obtain a formula rebate contract to help contain costs. Beginning October 1st, 2012, milk-based infant formulas will be provided by Abbott Nutrition, makers of Similac. Soy-based formula will be provided by Gerber.
WIC is able to provide the following contract formulas without medical documentation to WIC participants under 12-months of age:
- Similac Advance – milk-based
- Similac Sensitive – low lactose
- Gerber Good Start Soy – soy-based
- Similac for Spit-Up-milk-based, lactose-free, added rice starch
Until October 1st, 2012, Similac Soy Isomil will be issued instead of Gerber Good Start Soy.
(Note: All formula requests for women or children 12 months of age or older require medical documentation. This includes requests for both contract and noncontract formulas. Use the noncontract or metabolic formula request forms - see links below.)
