This report considers the effects on diet quality, the health and cultural needs of the WIC population, and allows for effective and efficient administration nationwide in a cost-effective manner. Review of WIC Food Packages: An Evaluation of White Potatoes in the Cash Value Voucher recommends that the U.S. Department of Agriculture should allow white potatoes as a WIC-eligible vegetable, in forms currently permitted for other vegetables, in the cash value voucher pending changes to starchy vegetable intake recommendations in the 2015 Dietary Guidelines for Americans"--Publisher's description Bibliography Includes bibliographical references Notes English Online resource; title from electronic title page (National Academies Press, viewed on July 7, 2015) SUBJECT Special Supplemental Nutrition Program for Women, Infants, and Children (U.S.) Subject Food relief -- United States.
