Questions
How many rice, pasta and other whole grains items are on the Louisiana WIC list?
98 barcodes, in 8 subcategories as the state names them ("WHOLE GRAIN PASTA", "BROWN RICE", "OATS"). The list is dated list for November 2026. Louisiana ranks 14 of 14 lists we compare by number of rice, pasta and other whole grains barcodes.
Which rice, pasta and other whole grains brands does Louisiana WIC list most?
By number of barcodes: Great Value (10), Signature Select (9), Kroger (8). Store brands are on the list only where that store operates.
Are these rice, pasta and other whole grains items WIC approved in other states too?
87% of them are also on at least one other state's list; 13 are only on the Louisiana 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 "WHOLE GRAIN PASTA"). How many you can buy each month is on your WIC benefits, not on the product list. For the full rules, check the Louisiana WIC shopping guide or ask your WIC clinic.
