May 4, 2020 - from Hamodia:
"The New York State WIC program has added more kosher certified foods to its list of accepted food products, in response to requests by Senator Simcha Felder, Assemblyman Simcha Eichenstein and Assembly Health Committee Chairman Richard Gottfried."
"New York’s WIC Nutrition Assistance Program is a lifeline to thousands of families. But until now, the number of high standard kosher certified products included in the program was minimal, limiting the choices available to the many higher-standard kosher consumers."
"fter receiving many complaints from constituents regarding the lack of kosher options, particularly baby food, Assemblyman Simcha Eichenstein joined with Gottfried and Felder to urge the New York State Department of Health to include more and higher-standard kosher products available through the WIC Program."
"Last week, WIC officially updated its list of foods now accepted, including kosher products by companies such as Kemach, First Choice and Mehadrin. Inclusion of these brands, which carry superior hechsherim, expand the choices for the kashrus-observant families that rely on WIC – particularly for baby food, a previously limited option on WIC."
