Questions
How many cereal items are on the North Carolina WIC list?
379 barcodes, in 3 subcategories as the state names them ("Adult Breakfast Cereal", "Adult Breakfast Cereal-Whole Grain", "Infant Cereal"). The list is dated updated February 4, 2025. North Carolina ranks 4 of 14 lists we compare by number of cereal barcodes.
Which cereal brands does North Carolina WIC list most?
By number of barcodes: Frosted Mini-Wheats (44), Cheerios (28), Malt-O-Meal (16). Store brands are on the list only where that store operates.
Are these cereal items WIC approved in other states too?
72% of them are also on at least one other state's list; 108 are only on the North Carolina 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 "Adult Breakfast Cereal"). How many you can buy each month is on your WIC benefits, not on the product list. For the full rules, check the North Carolina WIC shopping guide or ask your WIC clinic.
