Return Policy – WIC foods and formula:
WIC-authorized vendors cannot provide refunds or permit exchanges for authorized supplemental foods purchased with WIC benefits, except for exchanges of an identical authorized supplemental food item in certain cases. They may do this when the original authorized food item is defective, spoiled, or has exceeded its “sell by,” “best used by,” or other date that limits the sale or use of the food item.
WIC-authorized vendors cannot:
- Request or provide cash, credit, unauthorized goods, or substitution of other WIC food items to or from WIC participants instead of, or in exchange for, WIC-authorized foods.
- Knowingly request, provide, or substitute cash, credit, unauthorized goods, or other WIC food items to WIC participants for foods returned to the store that were purchased with WIC benefits.
