Wic grains9/15/2023 Results & Discussion: The roundtable agreed increasing whole grain intake among WIC participants is critical and adoption of the whole grain-rich criteria aligns with the 2020 Dietary Guidelines for Americans and child nutrition programs. Aims & Methods: To discuss the advantages and implications of these recommendations, the Cereal & Grains Association, in partnership with General Mills, Inc., convened an expert roundtable in April 2022.
