WIC-Approved Foods List in Georgia

Last Updated: June 24, 2025

What is the WIC approved food list?

The Georgia WIC Approved Foods list shows the types, sizes, and packaging of foods that Georgia WIC participants can buy with their WIC benefits. The current list was updated in 2021, and it’s available as a PDF in both English and Spanish.

The Approved Foods list explains what foods are approved through Georgia WIC, including categories like fruits, dairy, whole grains, breakfast cereal, yogurt, legumes, and baby food.

How do I know if an item is WIC-approved?

Every state manages a list of barcode numbers, or Universal Product Codes (UPCs), of products that qualify for WIC called the Approved Product List.

To buy an item with WIC, the item must be:

  1. On the Approved Product List in your state, and

  2. In your unique food package

Be sure to check your WIC balance and that the item qualifies under the Georgia WIC Approved Foods list. Also, look for the “WIC-Approved” item stickers on the shelf tags in the grocery store.

The Lulo app shows you pictures of items that are WIC-approved in your benefits package and you can use the barcode scanner to instantly check if an item is approved.
