Questions
How many cheese items are on the Washington WIC list?
430 barcodes, in 3 subcategories as the state names them ("Cheese Reduced Fat/Sodium", "Cheese Lowfat", "Cheese Kosher"). The list is dated file posted April 8, 2026. Washington ranks 11 of 14 lists we compare by number of cheese barcodes.
Which cheese brands does Washington WIC list most?
By number of barcodes: Lucerne (53), Great Value (50), Essential Everyday (43). Store brands are on the list only where that store operates.
Are these cheese items WIC approved in other states too?
99% of them are also on at least one other state's list; 5 are only on the Washington 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 "Cheese Reduced Fat/Sodium"). How many you can buy each month is on your WIC benefits, not on the product list. For the full rules, check the Washington WIC shopping guide or ask your WIC clinic.
