Questions

Is Ortega WIC approved in every state?

Ortega items are on all 14 lists we compare, but not every Ortega product: each state picks its own flavors and sizes. Maine lists the most (16).

Which Ortega products are on the most lists?

Ortega Fire Roasted Diced Green Chilies 4oz (12 of 14); Ortega Diced Jalapenos 4oz (11 of 14); Ortega Whole Green Chiles 4oz (10 of 14).

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

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 Ortega 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.
