Summary
Improving Newborn Formula Access for a Nutritious Tomorrow Act of 2022 or the INFANT Act of 2022
This bill revises the Special Supplemental Nutrition Program for Women, Infants, and Children (WIC) to require state agencies that use a competitive bidding system for infant formula contracts to award such contracts to at least two manufacturers. Additionally, it prohibits states from contracting more than 70% of their WIC infant formula from one manufacturer within a year.
