Questions

Is La Preferida WIC approved in every state?

La Preferida items are on all 14 lists we compare, but not every La Preferida product: each state picks its own flavors and sizes. New York lists the most (41).

Which La Preferida products are on the most lists?

La Preferida Dried Lentils 16oz (11 of 14); La Preferida Diced Mild Green Chiles 4oz (11 of 14); La Preferida Dried Black Beans 16oz (10 of 14).

My state is not shown. Can I still buy La Preferida?

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 Preferida size work and another not?

WIC lists authorize exact barcodes. The same beans & lentils 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.
