Why this matters

WIC is a cornerstone federal nutrition program serving 6+ million Americans annually; this obligation sustains food access for vulnerable populations in the nation's third-largest state.

Supply-chain signal

Drives demand for authorized WIC-eligible foods (infant formula, dairy, produce, grains) through retail networks; state administrative capacity affects vendor participation and food availability.
