    (a) Goals. Nutrition education shall emphasize the relationship of 
proper nutrition to the total concept of good health, including the 
importance of consuming fresh fruits and vegetables.
    (b) Requirement. The State agency shall integrate nutrition 
education into FMNP operations and may satisfy nutrition education 
requirements through coordination with other agencies within the State. 
Such other agencies may include the WIC Program which routinely offers 
nutrition education to participants and which may wish to use the 
opportunity of the FMNP to reinforce nutrition messages. State agencies 
wishing to coordinate nutrition education with WIC shall

enter into a written cooperative agreement with WIC agencies to offer 
nutrition education relevant to the use and nutritional value of foods 
available to FMNP recipients. In cases where relevant WIC nutrition 
education sessions are used to meet this requirement, reimbursement to 
the WIC local agency shall not be permitted. In cases where FMNP 
recipients are not receiving relevant nutrition education from the WIC 
Program, the State agency shall arrange alternative methods for the 
provision of such nutrition education which is an allowable cost under 
the FMNP.
