WIC families would get more fruit and vegetable options, and FDA would boost e-cigarette enforcement.
This bill sets the budget for agriculture, rural development, and food safety programs for the government's budget year ending September 30, 2027. It would change WIC food packages to include peanut-containing foods for infants and allow more types of fruits and vegetables. The bill also directs the FDA to significantly increase its efforts to stop the sale of illegal e-cigarettes and vapes.
Today, government agencies like the USDA and FDA operate under their current budgets and regulations. WIC food packages have specific rules, and e-cigarette enforcement is ongoing. After this bill, the budget for these agencies would be set for fiscal year 2027, and WIC food packages would be updated to include peanut-containing foods for infants and allow a wider variety of fruits and vegetables. The FDA would significantly increase its enforcement efforts against illegal e-cigarettes and vapes, and new federal rules would standardize animal food labeling and ingredient approval, overriding differing state laws.
