Questions

Is American Heritage WIC approved in every state?

No single answer: American Heritage items are on 8 of the 14 lists we compare and on none of the lists for California, Louisiana, Maine, Oregon, Utah, Washington (as of each list's date). States pick their own brands and sizes, so check the product table for your state's column.

Which American Heritage products are on the most lists?

American Heritage Yellow American Slices 16oz (6 of 14); American Heritage Mozzarella String Cheese (4 of 14); American Heritage Colby Jack Block 8oz (2 of 14).

My state is California. Can I still buy American Heritage?

A product that is not on your state's list will usually be declined at the register, but lists change: New York's list itself says "There may be eligible products that are not on this list." Look for the WIC shelf tag, scan it in your state's WIC shopping app, or ask your WIC clinic.

Why does one American Heritage size work and another not?

WIC lists authorize exact barcodes. The same cheese in a different size, pack or flavor has a different UPC, and many states allow only certain container sizes. Compare the UPC on your package with the UPC shown here.
