DE SCR110

Affirms the importance of addressing the infant formula shortage in Delaware, where baby formula was 54.51% out of stock at retailers as of early May

Urges immediate action to expand efforts making infant formula more accessible to families and child care providers participating in WIC and CACFP programs

Recognizes that WIC benefits cover approximately half of infant formula nationwide and that state-level WIC rules significantly affect formula availability and distribution

Supports the USDA recommendations to allow WIC recipients to use benefits on a wider variety of formula products and to relax state requirements on stocking levels to help retailers manage inventory
