New York WIC Program to Include Cholov Yisroel Formula, Benefiting Frum Families
For the first time, New York's WIC program will cover Cholov Yisroel infant formula, following a decision by Governor Kathy Hochul and State Health Commissioner Dr. James McDonald. This change, resulting from a three-year campaign led by Met Council, will benefit tens of thousands of frum families across New York. The inclusion of Cholov Yisroel formula addresses a significant gap in the WIC program, ensuring that families can access nutritional support that aligns with their religious dietary requirements.
