Questions

Is Shirakiku WIC approved in every state?

No single answer: Shirakiku items are on 4 of the 14 lists we compare and on none of the lists for Connecticut, Louisiana, Massachusetts, Maine, Michigan, Minnesota, New Jersey, New York, Utah, 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 Shirakiku products are on the most lists?

Shirakiku Edamame in the Pod 20oz (3 of 14); Shirakiku Jumbo Edamame Soybeans 14.1oz (2 of 14); Shirakiku Tips Bamboo Shoots Boiled 15oz (2 of 14).

My state is Connecticut. Can I still buy Shirakiku?

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 Shirakiku 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.
