Formula depends on your state's contract. State WIC agencies must hold down formula costs, usually with a single-supplier rebate contract (federal rule 7 CFR 246.16a), so the formula brand on one state's list may not be on the next state's, and it can change when a contract is rebid. Non-contract brands, specialty ("exempt") formulas and WIC-eligible nutritionals are issued only with medical documentation (7 CFR 246.10(d)). Your WIC clinic issues the exact formula, form and can size; check with them before buying. Formula on each list →

Questions
How many infant formula items are on the North Carolina WIC list?
113 barcodes, in 57 subcategories as the state names them ("Enfamil EnfaCare Pwd", "Enfamil EnfaCare RTF", "Enfamil EnfaCare RTF 32 oz"). The list is dated updated February 4, 2025. North Carolina ranks 2 of 14 lists we compare by number of infant formula barcodes.
Which infant formula brands does North Carolina WIC list most?
By number of barcodes: Similac (42), Enfamil (40), Nutramigen (6). Store brands are on the list only where that store operates.
Are these infant formula items WIC approved in other states too?
79% of them are also on at least one other state's list; 24 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 "Enfamil EnfaCare Pwd"). 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.
