WIC Least Expensive Brand | Texas Health and Human Services - Texas Health and Human Services |

Least Expensive Brand (LEB) – Vendors must declare and sell their least expensive brand (LEB) for each type and size of WIC authorized milk, fluid and frozen juice, cheese, whole wheat/grain bread, wheat tortillas, and corn tortillas. At least 85% of an outlet’s WIC monthly redemptions within these food types (category/subcategories) must be the vendor’s declared LEB.

Vendors must declare their LEB for the following WIC approved food categories:

• Milk (Whole Milk, Low Fat, Fat Free, & Buttermilk)
• Cheese (1lb, 2lb, & String)
• Juice (Fluid & Frozen)
• Grains (Whole Wheat Bread & Wheat/Corn Tortillas)

If you are a new vendor account or adding a new vendor outlet to an existing vendor account and need to declare an LEB, complete the WIC Least Expensive Brand Declaration Form (Fillable PDF).

Vendors must declare a minimum of the following products:

• One type of ½ gallon milk 
• One type of quart milk
• One type of cheese
• Two different sizes and flavors of juice
• Two types of whole grains with one being 16 oz. whole-wheat bread

Email completed forms to WICLEB@hhs.texas.gov or fax to 512-341-4422.

For changes to declared LEB items, vendors must submit an LEB Change Request Form for approval. Note, if all vendor outlets within one vendor account use the same declared LEB for a food category, then only complete one LEB Change Request Form. If each vendor outlet within one vendor account has different declared LEBs for a food category, then each vendor outlet must complete its own LEB Change Request Form.

WIC Non-LEB Food Labeling
WIC authorized vendors may label non-LEB food categories with the white Texas WIC label. Labeling non-LEB items is not required. However, vendors may use the white Texas WIC label on one or more items within each non-LEB food category to help guide WIC participants to WIC approved foods.

However, if vendors label non-LEB items with the WIC Approved Item pink label, then all WIC approved items within the same food category must be labeled.
