- This Represents Significant Expansion in Accessibility Following the Recent Insurance Billing with more WIC Program Acceptances Expected
VANCOUVER, British Columbia, July 11, 2023 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- ELSE NUTRITION HOLDINGS INC. (BABY) (BABYF) (0YL.F) ("Else" or the "Company"), announces that its Kids Nutritional Shakes have been approved by the Arizona Women, Infants, and Children (WIC) program. This authorization closely follows the company's recent milestone of having four products approved for US federal insurance billing. Both achievements underscore the company's strategic approach to broadening access and availability of plant-based nutrition products across the United States.
Children with qualifying medical conditions and a physician’s prescription can now benefit from Else Kids' plant-based nutrition, designed to cater to dietary issues such as severe food allergies, gastrointestinal disorders, immune system disorders, and medically diagnosed nutrient deficiencies. The product lineup includes the Else Plant Protein Nutritional Shake for Kids in Chocolate and Vanilla flavors.
"Having our products approved by the Arizona WIC program and the Center for Medicare & Medicaid Services are significant steps in our strategic plan to enhance accessibility. These achievements are a testament to our team's dedication and strong management," said Hamutal Yitzhak, CEO and Co-Founder of Else. "We anticipate more WIC wins as we continue down this path, reinforcing our commitment to bringing clean, plant-based nutrition to families nationwide."
Else Plant-Based Nutritional Shakes for Kids are made with clean, whole-plant ingredients: buckwheat, almond butter, and tapioca. The products are free of the most common allergens, USDA organic, and free of gluten, dairy, soy, corn syrup, and GMOs. These factors make Else Kids a unique option for families with dietary concerns, providing comprehensive nutrition with 50% less sugar than competing brands.
With its Kids Nutritional Shake Chocolate and Vanilla products now being a part of the Arizona WIC program and its other products approved for insurance billing, Else Nutrition continues to innovate and expand its market footprint, providing a comprehensive solution to the nutritional needs of children across the country.
