Safety Standards and Inventory Audits

To ensure a supply chain with proper storage conditions protecting the quality of WIC foods, the Michigan WIC program requires Vendors to purchase WIC foods only from businesses licensed by the Michigan Department of Agriculture (MDARD), pharmacies licensed by the Michigan Licensing and Regularatory Affairs (LARA), or from manufacturers registered with the Food and Drug Administration (FDA).

This requirement is especially important for preventing health risks to infants from the consumption of improperly stored infant formula. Therefore, the Michigan WIC Program places a particular focus on actively auditing WIC Vendors' purchase records to ensure formula and medical foods are purchased from properly licensed businesses. A Vendor may be required to provide up to 3 years of purchase records to justify their sales of WIC items. To prevent an audit discrepancy, Michigan WIC recommends Vendors utilize effective record-keeping practices of all receipts, invoices, and purchase orders of WIC-approved items.
