Questions

Is Cream of Wheat WIC approved in every state?

Cream of Wheat items are on all 14 lists we compare, but not every Cream of Wheat product: each state picks its own flavors and sizes. Michigan lists the most (7).

Which Cream of Wheat products are on the most lists?

Cream Of Wheat WholeGrain 2.5 Minute Cereal 18oz (11 of 14); Cream Of Wheat 2.5 Minute 28oz (10 of 14); Cream Of Wheat 1 Minute Cereal 28oz (9 of 14).

My state is not shown. Can I still buy Cream of Wheat?

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 Cream of Wheat 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.
