Questions

Is Open Nature WIC approved in every state?

No single answer: Open Nature items are on 11 of the 14 lists we compare and on none of the lists for Michigan, Minnesota, North Carolina (as of each list's date). States pick their own brands and sizes, so check the product table for your state's column.

Which Open Nature products are on the most lists?

Open Nature Chunk Light Tuna In Water 5oz (11 of 14); Open Nature Creamy Almond Butter 16oz (7 of 14); Open Nature Crunchy Almond Butter 16oz (7 of 14).

My state is Michigan. Can I still buy Open Nature?

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 Open Nature size work and another not?

WIC lists authorize exact barcodes. The same eggs 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.
