Review of WIC Food Packages: An Evaluation of White Potatoes in the Cash Value Voucher assesses the impact of 2009 regulation to allow the purchase of vegetables and fruits, excluding white potatoes, with a cash value voucher on food and nutrient intakes of the Special Supplemental Nutrition Program for Women, Infants, and Children (WIC) population and to consider whether white potatoes should be permitted for purchase with the voucher. This report considers the effects on diet quality, the health and cultural needs of the WIC population, and allows for effective and efficient administration nationwide in a cost-effective manner. Review of WIC Food Packages: An Evaluation of White Potatoes in the Cash Value Voucher recommends that the U.S. Department of Agriculture should allow white potatoes as a WIC-eligible vegetable, in forms currently permitted for other vegetables, in the cash value voucher pending changes to starchy vegetable intake recommendations in the 2015 Dietary Guidelines for Americans.Table of ContentsFront MatterSummaryLetter ReportAppendix A: Acronyms and AbbreviationsAppendix B: Statement of TaskAppendix C: Workshop AgendasAppendix D: Literature Search StrategyAppendix E: Dietary Reference IntakesAppendix F: Description of Sensitivity Analysis ScenariosAppendix G: Food Group and Subgroup IntakesAppendix H: Nutrient IntakesAppendix I: Nutrient ProfilesAppendix J: Food Group DistributionsAppendix K: Healthy Eating Index 2010 AssessmentAppendix L: Background Example Data for Sensitivity AnalysisAppendix M: Committee Biosketches
