GovInfo lists H.R. 9305 as introduced June 11, 2026, referred to House Education and Workforce, with Darren Soto as cosponsor.

Unverified model/legacy excerpt; not proof. AI summary (separate from source): This is concrete same-term legislative action toward the promise, but the bill was only introduced and referred; it was not enacted or implemented. Searches for the Aug. 11-13, 2026 lookback did not surface newer official movement.

USDA FNS lists current WIC single-strength juice maximums as 64 fluid ounces for children and women food packages.

Unverified model/legacy excerpt; not proof. AI summary (separate from source): The operative USDA allowance remains 64 ounces, not the promised 128 ounces, so the policy change has not been delivered as of Aug. 13, 2026.

As of August 13, 2026, the promised WIC juice allowance increase to 128 fluid ounces has not been enacted or implemented. H.R. 9305, the Juice for Healthy Families Act of 2026, was introduced on June 11, 2026 and Soto was a cosponsor/material supporter, but the bill remained referred to committee. USDA WIC maximum monthly allowances still list single-strength juice at 64 fluid ounces, not 128. This is a serious same-term legislative effort but not fulfillment.
