HB 892 Missouri House · 2025 Regular Session

Adds honey to the list of approved foods for purchase in the WIC "Farmer's Market Nutrition Program"

HB 892 adds honey to the list of eligible foods that participants in Missouri's WIC Farmers' Market Nutrition Program can purchase with vouchers. The bill directly affects low-income seniors (60+), pregnant/postpartum women, and children under five at nutritional risk who qualify for WIC or related programs. Key provisions allow participants to use vouchers for Missouri-grown fresh produce and honey at designated farmers' markets, aiming to improve nutrition access while boosting local honey sales. The program is designed to stimulate demand for Missouri-grown products without altering existing income eligibility or distribution processes.
