Some of the foods available through the WIC program include eggs, cheese, infant and adult cereal, fruits and vegetables, canned fish, peanut butter and canned beans and peas and more.

Special infant formulas and medical foods may be available when prescribed by a physician for specific medical needs and conditions. For women who do not breastfeed fully, WIC provides iron-fortified infant formula.

WIC believes and promotes breastfeeding as an optimal source of nutrition for infants.

From there, the POS system would deduct the amount from your current WIC balance. Instead of using the checks or vouchers at checkout, you would hand the cashier your WIC EBT Card and they would swipe it like a normal debit or credit card. This replaces the paper checks and vouchers with a WIC EBT (Electronic benefit transfer) Card. In some states they have rolled out the new eWIC system.
