Breakfast cereal: Minnesota vs other lists

Barcodes of cereal 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 cereal items are on the Minnesota WIC list?

183 barcodes, in 1 subcategory as the state names them ("(no subcategory in the file)"). The list is dated list for November 2026. Minnesota ranks 11 of 14 lists we compare by number of cereal barcodes.

Which cereal brands does Minnesota WIC list most?

By number of barcodes: Honey Bunches of Oats (20), Frosted Mini-Wheats (17), Quaker (16). Store brands are on the list only where that store operates.

Are these cereal items WIC approved in other states too?

95% of them are also on at least one other state's list; 9 are only on the Minnesota 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 "(no subcategory in the file)"). How many you can buy each month is on your WIC benefits, not on the product list. For the full rules, check the Minnesota WIC shopping guide or ask your WIC clinic.
