Questions
How many canned fish items are on the California WIC list?
133 barcodes, in 3 subcategories as the state names them ("Chunk Light Tuna", "Sardines", "Pink Salmon"). The list is dated file posted November 2, 2026. California ranks 10 of 14 lists we compare by number of canned fish barcodes.
Which canned fish brands does California WIC list most?
By number of barcodes: Chicken of the Sea (6), StarKist (6), Great Value (4). Store brands are on the list only where that store operates.
Are these canned fish items WIC approved in other states too?
56% of them are also on at least one other state's list; 59 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 "Chunk Light Tuna"). 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.
