Questions

Is La Choy WIC approved in every state?

No single answer: La Choy items are on 12 of the 14 lists we compare and on none of the lists for California, 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 La Choy products are on the most lists?

La Choy Bean Sprouts 14oz (12 of 14); La Choy Sliced Water Chestnuts 8oz (8 of 14); La Choy Fancy Bamboo Shoots 8oz (7 of 14).

My state is California. Can I still buy La Choy?

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 La Choy size work and another not?

WIC lists authorize exact barcodes. The same fruits & vegetables 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.
