Questions

Is Smart Way WIC approved in every state?

No single answer: Smart Way items are on 7 of the 14 lists we compare and on none of the lists for Connecticut, Massachusetts, Maine, Minnesota, North Carolina, New Jersey, New York (as of each list's date). States pick their own brands and sizes, so check the product table for your state's column.

Which Smart Way products are on the most lists?

Smart Way Creamy Peanut Butter 16oz (7 of 14); Smart Way Cut Green Beans 10oz (6 of 14); Smart Way Whole Kernel Corn 10oz (6 of 14).

My state is Connecticut. Can I still buy Smart Way?

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 Smart Way 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.
