The proposal would limit how much juice families can buy each month through the WIC program, which provides food assistance to low-income pregnant women, new mothers, and young children. By capping juice allowances, the bill aims to encourage healthier eating habits and reduce sugar consumption among these vulnerable populations. The change would affect millions of families currently receiving WIC benefits across the country.
