Healthy Babies Act of 2025

House Votes

This bill tells the U.S. Department of Agriculture to add mixed infant foods—“combinations and dinners”—to the list of foods that WIC can cover. The agency must update its rules within one year after the law takes effect, so WIC families could pick up mixed baby foods, not just single-ingredient jars or pouches.

The change is simple: it expands what WIC can pay for to include infant food combinations and dinners. This could make feeding babies easier for many families by offering more ready-to-eat options under WIC.

• Who is affected: Families with infants on WIC; state WIC programs; stores that accept WIC.
• What changes: WIC can include infant food “combinations and dinners” as approved items.
• When: USDA must update the rules within one year of the law’s enactment.
