WIC

WIC is the U.S. Women, Infants, and Children nutrition program discussed in Bobbie: Laura Modi. How a Baby Formula Startup Took Market Share From Two Industry Giants. The episode says WIC can restrict participating parents in a state to the formula brand that wins the relevant contract, making government procurement a major distribution and access constraint in Infant Formula.

Laura Modi says Bobbie is not yet large enough to serve WIC, even though the source describes WIC as covering a large share of formula-using U.S. babies. In the wiki, WIC therefore anchors WIC Formula Contracting: product trust and customer pull do not automatically create access when public benefits, rebates, supply capacity, and state contracts shape the market.
