Florida WIC Approved Foods
Updated August 2026
Once you're approved for Florida WIC, your benefits are loaded monthly onto a WIC card that works like a debit card at authorized stores. Here's what's covered, how to check whether a specific brand or item is approved, and how the cash-value benefit for fruits and vegetables works.
Approved WIC Foods in Florida
Florida WIC's approved food list covers milk, eggs, cheese, yogurt, whole grains, 100% juice, beans, peanut butter, tofu, canned fish, and baby food, with lactose-free milk options available for participants with lactose intolerance. The full searchable list is maintained by the Florida Department of Health, and the free Florida WIC Mobile App (iOS and Android) lets you scan UPC barcodes in the store to instantly check whether an item is approved.
Cash Value Benefit for Fruits and Vegetables
Every participant receives a monthly Cash Value Benefit (CVB) to buy fresh, frozen, canned, or dried fruits and vegetables: $26 for children, $48 for pregnant or postpartum participants, and $52 for breastfeeding participants. These are the current federally set amounts for fiscal year 2026 and apply nationwide. Benefits do not roll over month to month, so use them before the end of each benefit period.
WIC Farmers' Market Nutrition Program
Florida also runs a seasonal WIC Farmers' Market Nutrition Program (FMNP), administered by the Florida Department of Agriculture and Consumer Services. Eligible WIC participants receive eFMNP benefits — currently $30 — to buy fresh, locally grown fruits, vegetables, and herbs at participating farmers markets and roadside stands during the program season. Ask your local WIC office whether FMNP is active in your county, or use the farmers market locator on the FDACS website.
Shopping Tips for Florida WIC
Use the Florida WIC Mobile App to scan barcodes before putting items in your cart — it's the fastest way to confirm approval without guessing at checkout. Check your EBT balance before shopping by calling WIC EBT Customer Service at 866-629-1095 or visiting the WIC EBT online system. Florida WIC materials are available in English, Spanish, and Haitian Creole, reflecting the state's large Haitian-American communities in South Florida.
