Cheese: California vs other lists

Barcodes of cheese on each list. A longer list is not a more generous program: some states list every size and store brand, others list fewer barcodes.

Questions

How many cheese items are on the California WIC list?

269 barcodes, in 1 subcategory as the state names them ("Cheese"). The list is dated file posted November 2, 2026. California ranks 14 of 14 lists we compare by number of cheese barcodes.

Which cheese brands does California WIC list most?

By number of barcodes: WinCo (14), Kroger (13), Essential Everyday (13). Store brands are on the list only where that store operates.

Are these cheese items WIC approved in other states too?

64% of them are also on at least one other state's list; 98 are only on the California list (mostly regional store brands). Each row shows how many of the 14 lists include that barcode.

Does the list say which size I can buy?

The state's subcategory names often carry the size or type rule (for example "Cheese"). How many you can buy each month is on your WIC benefits, not on the product list. For the full rules, check the California WIC shopping guide or ask your WIC clinic.
