Juice for Healthy Families Act of 2026

This legislative proposal aims to modify the existing Child Nutrition Act of 1966. Its primary objective is to introduce specific limits on the amount of juice provided through the Special Supplemental Nutrition Program for Women, Infants, and Children (WIC).

The bill mandates the addition of a new subsection to the Child Nutrition Act, which will define the maximum monthly allowances of single strength juice for certain WIC food packages. Under this amendment, Food Packages IV, V, VI, and VII will each have a cap of 128 fluid ounces of juice per month. This measure seeks to standardize and potentially regulate the quantity of juice distributed to participants in these specific WIC categories.
