You don’t have to get all the foods on your card at one time. What if I don’t want all the foods on my card? Ask the store manager if they can order the brand or food size you’re looking for or visit another store. Stores must carry a certain number of different foods based on the store’s size, but they do not have to carry all the WIC brands. What if the store doesn’t have the brands I want? Find out what sizes are allowed in the Minnesota WIC Shopping Guide. Some WIC-allowed foods must be a certain size. WIC-allowed brands are considered healthier than some other brands. WIC is a nutrition program that provides foods shown to increase nutrition. Not all brands have the same nutrition value. Why can I only buy certain brands with my WIC card?
Call 1-83 (the number on the back of your WIC card) to find out what foods are on your card.Ask a cashier to print a Balance Inquiry (a receipt that shows all the foods that are on your card) before you shop.
