Juice for Healthy Families Act of 2026

Key Points

• This bill sets a standard limit on how much juice families can receive through the WIC program. WIC is a federal program that helps low income pregnant women and young children buy healthy food.
• Under this plan, most women and children in the program would be allowed 128 ounces of juice every month. This amount is roughly equal to two standard large bottles of juice found in most grocery stores.
• The change aims to provide clear rules for the program and ensure families get a consistent amount of nutrition. It updates the law to make sure juice benefits are handled the same way for different groups of people.
• This policy would affect millions of families who use WIC to help pay for groceries. It ensures that juice remains a part of the monthly food package while following specific health guidelines.
