Questions

Is Port Side WIC approved in every state?

No single answer: Port Side items are on 10 of the 14 lists we compare and on none of the lists for California, Louisiana, Utah, Washington (as of each list's date). States pick their own brands and sizes, so check the product table for your state's column.

Which Port Side products are on the most lists?

Port Side Chunk Light Tuna In Water 5oz (8 of 14); Portside Sardines in Hot Sauce (3 of 14); Portside Sardines in Mustard (3 of 14).

My state is California. Can I still buy Port Side?

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 Port Side size work and another not?

WIC lists authorize exact barcodes. The same canned fish 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.
