Questions

Is Cheerios WIC approved in every state?

Cheerios items are on all 14 lists we compare, but not every Cheerios product: each state picks its own flavors and sizes. North Carolina lists the most (28).

Which Cheerios products are on the most lists?

General Mills Cheerios 12oz (14 of 14); General Mills Cheerios 18oz (14 of 14); General Mills Cheerios 20oz (14 of 14).

My state is not shown. Can I still buy Cheerios?

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 Cheerios size work and another not?

WIC lists authorize exact barcodes. The same breakfast cereal 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.
