Washington, D.C. - Today, Congresswoman Elise Stefanik released the following statement on the Biden Administration’s ruling that reduces the amount of milk available to families utilizing the Special Supplemental Nutrition Program for Women, Infants, and Children (WIC).
“Joe Biden’s WIC restrictions will cause significant negative effects on the health of babies, mothers, and families participating in WIC to access nutritious milk products,” said Congresswoman Elise Stefanik. “Families are already struggling with skyrocketing prices due to Bidenflation and the Biden Administration’s new rule would limit their access to the healthy milk products our dairy farmers in Upstate New York and the North Country work hard to provide to our communities. I will continue to work to ensure our new mothers and developing children have access to nutrient rich milk.”
In March 2023, Congresswoman Stefanik led a bipartisan letter to United States Department of Agriculture Secretary Tom Vilsack calling on him to oppose the proposed rule that would reduce the amount of milk available to WIC families.
