Questions

How many WIC-eligible nutritionals items are on the Maine WIC list?

12 barcodes, in 4 subcategories as the state names them ("6-pack(s) Bottled Pediasure - Plain or Flavored", "6-pack(s) Bottled Pediasure with Fiber 8 oz", "Boost Max 30g High Protein 11 fl oz, 4 Pack"). The list is dated file posted November 12, 2026. Maine ranks 13 of 14 lists we compare by number of WIC-eligible nutritionals barcodes.

Which WIC-eligible nutritionals brands does Maine WIC list most?

By number of barcodes: PediaSure (8), Boost (4). Store brands are on the list only where that store operates.

Are these WIC-eligible nutritionals items WIC approved in other states too?

83% of them are also on at least one other state's list; 2 are only on the Maine 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 "6-pack(s) Bottled Pediasure - Plain or Flavored"). How many you can buy each month is on your WIC benefits, not on the product list. For the full rules, check the Maine WIC shopping guide or ask your WIC clinic.
