Questions
How many WIC-eligible nutritionals items are on the Utah WIC list?
56 barcodes, in 18 subcategories as the state names them ("PEDIASURE 6PK 8 OZ - READY TO FEED", "ENSURE 6PK 8 OZ - READY TO FEED", "KROGER COMFORTS PEDIATRIC SHAKE 6 PK 8 OZ - RTF"). The list is dated active from November 1, 2026. Utah ranks 10 of 14 lists we compare by number of WIC-eligible nutritionals barcodes.
Which WIC-eligible nutritionals brands does Utah WIC list most?
By number of barcodes: Ensure (14), PediaSure (13), Carnation Breakfast Essentials (8). Store brands are on the list only where that store operates.
Are these WIC-eligible nutritionals items WIC approved in other states too?
54% of them are also on at least one other state's list; 26 are only on the Utah 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 "PEDIASURE 6PK 8 OZ - 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 Utah WIC shopping guide or ask your WIC clinic.
