Questions
How many soy and plant-based milk items are on the New York WIC list?
21 barcodes, in 1 subcategory as the state names them ("Plant-based Milk Alternatives"). The list is dated valid as of November 5, 2026. New York ranks 2 of 14 lists we compare by number of soy and plant-based milk barcodes.
Which soy and plant-based milk brands does New York WIC list most?
By number of barcodes: Silk (11), Ripple (6), Pacific Natural (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?
95% of them are also on at least one other state's list; 1 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 "Plant-based Milk Alternatives"). 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.
