WIC Trends – Frozen Juices • The number of WIC participants has been rising steadily each year • Approx. 50% of WIC juice sales are shelf-stable and 50% are frozen • WIC Food Packages underwent changes in 2009 that decreased the amount of juice allowed each month to participants, leading to an overall decrease in WIC juice consumption which has in turn contributed to the decline of the frozen juice category • Most states now allow for 64 oz shelf-stable juices, though some are retaining 46 oz or 48 oz shelf-stable in addition to frozen concentrates – the option to purchase shelf-stable juices through WIC has further decreased frozen juice sales
