Darigold Changes Milk Sizes; Won’t Work with WIC in WA, OR

Shrinkflation is something that's nothing new in our products. Remember when candy bars used to be bigger, or containers of ice cream or bags of chips. It seems like products keep getting smaller and smaller while prices keep increasing higher and higher.

Darigold did something recently that's causing some stirring online. Reading the comments on some of these posts online, it seems like some think Darigold did this on purpose just to avoid WIC but I wouldn't think that would be the case.

WIC have been posting these signs in the milk section of some stores to hopefully avoid confusion at the checkstand.

Darigold reduced the size of their containers from 64oz to 59oz. Although 5oz less isn't a huge dealbreaker, it is for WIC as now people who rely on milk from WIC don't have these Darigold products as an option.

Naturally, if you have any questions you can ask someone there or scan with the app to see if it's allowed.

Darigold milk in quart and gallon-sized containers are still available, though. If you have the WIC app it'll tell you what's still allowed as needed. Or if you have further questions you can email WAWICFoods@doh.wa.gov

This goes for Oregon as well. They sent out a memo.
