Questions
How many soy and plant-based milk items are on the New Jersey WIC list?
13 barcodes, in 1 subcategory as the state names them ("Plant-Based Milk"). The list is dated file posted October 5, 2026. New Jersey ranks 6 of 14 lists we compare by number of soy and plant-based milk barcodes.
Which soy and plant-based milk brands does New Jersey WIC list most?
By number of barcodes: Silk (6), Ripple (3), 8th Continent (2). Store brands are on the list only where that store operates.
Are these soy and plant-based milk items WIC approved in other states too?
92% of them are also on at least one other state's list; 1 are only on the New Jersey 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 "Plant-Based Milk"). How many you can buy each month is on your WIC benefits, not on the product list. For the full rules, check the New Jersey WIC shopping guide or ask your WIC clinic.
