Questions

Is CF WIC approved in every state?

No single answer: CF items are on 9 of the 14 lists we compare and on none of the lists for Louisiana, Maine, Minnesota, 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 CF products are on the most lists?

C and F Dried Lentils 16oz (9 of 14); C and F Dried Black Beans 16oz (7 of 14); C and F Dried Navy Beans 16oz (7 of 14).

My state is Louisiana. Can I still buy CF?

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 CF size work and another not?

WIC lists authorize exact barcodes. The same beans & lentils 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.
