Look for Shelf Tags

Most stores place shelf tags to show which items are WIC-approved. Look for tags that say “WIC” or that have a “W” in a box. All stores don’t use the same tags.

  HELPFUL TIP

Even if the shelf tag says “WIC”, double check that the item is on your Family Food Benefits list.

Find the Right Sizes

WIC-approved foods must match the exact sizes in your Family Food Benefits list. Choosing the correct size ensures your benefits work at checkout and helps you get the most from your monthly allowance.
