Questions

Is Special Value WIC approved in every state?

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

Special Value Corn Whole 15.25oz (2 of 14); Special Value Frzn Green Peas 16oz (2 of 14); Special Value Green Beans Cut 14.5oz (2 of 14).

My state is Connecticut. Can I still buy Special Value?

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 Value 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.
