Juice Access Improvement Act

This bill would require the U.S. Secretary of Agriculture to have state agencies make juice the default benefit in certain food packages under the WIC nutrition program for women, infants, and children. The covered packages are those for children ages 1 through 4, pregnant and partially breastfeeding women, postpartum women, and fully breastfeeding women. Participants could ask to receive a $3 cash-value voucher in place of the juice, with that amount adjusted each year for inflation. The Secretary would issue or revise federal rules to carry this out.
