Questions

Is Essentials Everyday WIC approved in every state?

No single answer: Essentials Everyday items are on 10 of the 14 lists we compare and on none of the lists for California, Maine, 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 Essentials Everyday products are on the most lists?

Essentials Everyday Whole Milk 64oz (9 of 14); Essentials Everyday Lactose Free Nonfat Milk 64oz (8 of 14); Essentials Everyday Nonfat Milk 64oz (8 of 14).

My state is California. Can I still buy Essentials Everyday?

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 Essentials Everyday size work and another not?

WIC lists authorize exact barcodes. The same milk 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.
