Questions
Why only these states?
These are the state and tribal WIC agencies that post their whole Authorized Product List as a spreadsheet anyone can download. Many large states (Texas, Florida, Pennsylvania, Georgia, Ohio, Illinois) publish only PDF booklets or keep the full list in a store portal or app.
Why do the lists have different numbers of items?
Some states list every size, flavor and store brand barcode (and packaged produce); others list fewer barcodes or authorize whole groups of items. A longer list is not necessarily a more generous program.
How often is this updated?
We download every list about once a month and show each list's own date. A state may change its list in between.
