Questions

Is Jif WIC approved in every state?

Jif items are on all 14 lists we compare, but not every Jif product: each state picks its own flavors and sizes. Connecticut lists the most (12).

Which Jif products are on the most lists?

Jif Creamy Peanut Butter 16oz (14 of 14); Jif Crunchy Peanut Butter 16oz (14 of 14); Jif Creamy Peanut Butter 18oz (9 of 14).

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

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 Jif size work and another not?

WIC lists authorize exact barcodes. The same peanut butter 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.
