Questions
How many WIC-eligible nutritionals items are on the New York WIC list?
75 barcodes, in 23 subcategories as the state names them ("Ensure Ready to Feed", "PediaSure Ready to Feed", "Neocate Junior Powder"). The list is dated valid as of November 5, 2026. New York ranks 6 of 14 lists we compare by number of WIC-eligible nutritionals barcodes.
Which WIC-eligible nutritionals brands does New York WIC list most?
By number of barcodes: PediaSure (22), Ensure (14), Neocate (11). Store brands are on the list only where that store operates.
Are these WIC-eligible nutritionals items WIC approved in other states too?
96% of them are also on at least one other state's list; 3 are only on the New York 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 "Ensure Ready to Feed"). How many you can buy each month is on your WIC benefits, not on the product list. For the full rules, check the New York WIC shopping guide or ask your WIC clinic.
