The aim of this study is to examine associations between WIC revisions and nutritional profiles of packaged food and beverage purchases (PFP) among 4537 low-income households (WIC participants and non-participants) with preschoolers in the US from 2008 to 2014 (3 periods: 2008-2009; 2010-2011 and 2013-2014).<\/p>\n
Nutrients profile of purchased foods following WIC revisions<\/h1>\n
Overall nutrients purchased by the household during each quarter for total PFPs were measured among WIC and non-WIC participants. WIC households have purchased significantly fewer calories from pre-revision to late revision (11% decrease per capita\/day). Non-WIC households have also decreased significantly, but smaller, their calories purchase (6% decrease per capita\/day).<\/p>\n
WIC and non-WIC households have also decreased significantly their sodium purchase (approximately 12% decrease per capita\/day for both).<\/p>\n
WIC households have declined their total sugar purchase (14.75% decrease per capita\/day) due mostly to a significant decrease in sugar sweetened beverages (SSBs) purchase, while non-WIC households had a smaller decrease (10% decrease per capita\/day).<\/p>\n
Total fat purchased decreased by 10% among WIC households and 5% among non-WIC households.<\/p>\n
Meanwhile there were no significant changes for protein or fiber. No significant differences in nutrients purchased in pre- or post-revision periods were found between WIC and non-WIC households.<\/p>\n
Amount of select food groups purchased following WIC revisions<\/h1>\n\n- F&V
\nAmounts purchased of each food and beverage group were measured for each time period. Figure 1 shows an increased purchase of F&V with no added sugar, fats, oils and\/or salt among WIC households. Non-WIC households have also increased their F&V purchases over time.

\nFigure 1: F&V purchases by WIC households between 2008 and 2014<\/li>\n - Grain items
\nNo significant increase was seen in purchase of grain items (i.e. bread, rice, tortillas) for both households. Meanwhile, there was a significant decrease among WIC households of daily purchases of refined grain items (23% decrease per capita\/day).<\/li>\n - Unhealthy foods<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
For sugar sweetened beverages (SSB), WIC households decreased 18% their purchases over time while non-WIC households purchased 13% less. No significant differences were found between WIC and non-WIC households in purchases of grain-based desserts, snacks or candy; they both reduced their grain based desserts purchase by 10 % while there was no significant change for both in purchase of sweet or savory snacks, and candy over time.<\/p>\n
WIC food package revisions seem to improve nutritional profiles among WIC households, compared to non-WIC households. These findings confirm that updating policies can meaningfully influence WIC participants and their families by making healthier choices among their purchases.<\/strong><\/p>\nBased on:<\/strong> Ng SW, Hollingsworth BA, Busey EA, Wandell JL, Miles DR, Poti JM.
