Questions

Is Best Choice WIC approved in every state?

No single answer: Best Choice items are on 10 of the 14 lists we compare and on none of the lists for Maine, Oregon, Washington, ITCA (Arizona tribal) (as of each list's date). States pick their own brands and sizes, so check the product table for your state's column.

Which Best Choice products are on the most lists?

Best Choice Frz Sliced Peaches 16oz (8 of 14); Best Choice Dried Black Turtle Beans 16oz (7 of 14); Best Choice Dried Pinto Beans 16oz (7 of 14).

My state is Maine. Can I still buy Best Choice?

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 Best Choice size work and another not?

WIC lists authorize exact barcodes. The same fruits & vegetables 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.
