Special Supplemental Nutrition Program for Women, Infants and Children (WIC Program); Listing of Licensed Infant Formula Sellers

[47 Pa.B. 270]
[Saturday, January 14, 2017]

 The WIC Program is a Federal program sponsored and funded by the United States Department of Agriculture (USDA) under section 17(d)(1) of the Child Nutrition Act of 1996 (42 U.S.C.A. § 1786(d)(1)), the Child Nutrition and WIC Reauthorization Act of 2004 (Pub.L. No. 108-265) and 7 CFR 246.1 (relating to general purpose and scope). Under 7 CFR 246.3(a) (relating to administration), the WIC Program is designed to provide nutritious foods to supplement the diets of certain low-income women, infants and children at nutritional risk. The Food and Nutrition Service (FNS) within the USDA has the responsibility for the administration of the WIC Program. Under 7 CFR 246.1, the USDA-FNS provides cash grants to state agencies to administer the WIC Program. The Department of Health (Department) is the State agency that has the responsibility for the operation of the WIC Program in this Commonwealth.

 The Department, as the State agency for USDA-FNS in this Commonwealth, distributes nutritious foods, including infant formula, to WIC Program participants through a retail store food delivery system. Under 7 CFR 246.12(g) (relating to food delivery methods), the Department is required to authorize an appropriate number and distribution of WIC vendors to ensure the lowest practicable food prices consistent with adequate participant access to supplemental foods. As part of that responsibility under 7 CFR 246.12(g)(11), the Department is required to provide a list to all WIC authorized vendors of the names and addresses of licensed infant formula wholesalers, distributors and retailers, and infant formula manufacturers registered with the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) that provide infant formula.

 The purpose of this notice is to provide a list of sellers of infant formula who are either: (1) registered with the Department of Agriculture or with the authorized agency in the state in which the seller is located and are, therefore, deemed licensed by the Department; or (2) registered with the FDA. WIC authorized vendors must purchase infant formula to be sold to WIC participants from a seller on this list or from another WIC authorized vendor. Since WIC authorized vendors are authorized to sell and purchase infant formula within this Commonwealth, a WIC authorized vendor may purchase infant formula from another WIC authorized vendor. WIC authorized vendors are identifiable by the PA WIC decal located at the entrance of the vendor.

 Pennsylvania WIC authorized vendors must maintain records of purchase for allowable foods and records used for Federal tax reporting purposes for a minimum of 2 years in accordance with 28 Pa. Code § 1105.3(a)(16) (relating to terms and conditions of participation). If a vendor is reviewed during a Formula Inventory Audit, the vendor will be required to submit authentic purchase records or invoices. The purchase records or invoices must identify the date of purchase and the name and address of the location where the purchase was made. No hand written receipts will be accepted.

 Purchasing infant formula from a seller that is not registered either with the Department of Agriculture or with the authorized agency in the state in which the seller is located or registered with the FDA or that is not an active Pennsylvania WIC authorized vendor may result in disqualification from the WIC Program.

 This notice is also available on the Vendor Assistant web site at https:wic.health.state.pa.us/vendorassistant/.
