This is an Iowa Infant Formula Issuance exhibit that provides a detailed breakdown of formula distribution data for the state's WIC (Women, Infants, and Children) program covering the period from October 2025 through March 2026. The document presents comprehensive issuance projections and historical data organized by contract formula products, participant age groups, and monthly cycles. The exhibit tracks multiple Enfamil and Similac formula variants in various formats including powders, concentrates, and ready-to-feed options, with quantities measured both in participant counts and can distributions. The data is segmented by infant age groups (0-3 months, 4-5 months, and 6-11 months) and child participants, providing monthly projections and six-month totals alongside monthly averages to support accurate inventory planning and procurement decisions.

The exhibit demonstrates substantial formula distribution volumes across the six-month period, with total participant counts reaching approximately 61,245 participants monthly and combined can issuances averaging 76,601 cans per month across all categories. Enfamil Infant Powder and Enfamil Gentlease represent the highest-volume products, collectively accounting for the majority of distributions. The data distinguishes between formula participants using standard benefit formulas (SBF) and those requiring specialized protein-based formulas (PBF), indicating program responsiveness to individual nutritional needs. This issuance projection serves as a critical planning tool for WIC program administration, enabling accurate forecasting of formula procurement requirements, supplier allocation, and budget management for the state's infant nutrition assistance initiative.
