Questions

Is Special K WIC approved in every state?

Special K items are on all 14 lists we compare, but not every Special K product: each state picks its own flavors and sizes. Massachusetts lists the most (20).

Which Special K products are on the most lists?

Kelloggs Special K Original 18oz (12 of 14); Kelloggs Special K Original 12oz (11 of 14); Kelloggs Special K Protein 12.9oz (11 of 14).

My state is not shown. Can I still buy Special K?

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 Special K size work and another not?

WIC lists authorize exact barcodes. The same breakfast cereal 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.
