In response to several questions from community members:
Ohio’s Women Infants and Children (WIC) program recently issued new guidelines stating that WIC recipients can only purchase store- brand milk. WIC recipients who require Chalav Yisroel Kosher milk (which is not store-brand) will still be able to purchase this milk as they have in the past.
Ohio WIC will be reminding designated stores of the kosher exception to the “store-brand policy”.
Agudath Israel has worked closely with the Ohio WIC office for many years and they have repeatedly showed sensitivity to our communities’ religious dietary needs. We thank them for their prompt attention to this matter.
