Nevada WIC Approved Foods

Nevada WIC food benefits are loaded onto an eWIC card accepted at WIC-authorized grocery stores statewide. Your specific monthly food package is tailored to your participant category — pregnant, breastfeeding, postpartum, infant, or child — and determined at your certification appointment. Use the free WIC Shopper app to check product eligibility and your benefit balance before you shop.

Food Categories

• Dairy: Milk, cheese, and yogurt, including lactose-free options. Soy beverage is available as a milk substitute for eligible participants.
• Whole grains: Iron-fortified cereals, whole grain bread, brown rice, whole wheat pasta, and tortillas.
• Fruits and vegetables: A monthly Cash Value Benefit (CVB) for fresh, frozen, and canned produce without added sugars.
• Protein: Eggs, peanut butter, dried and canned beans, and canned fish (tuna, salmon, sardines, and jack mackerel) for women and children age 2 and older.
• Infant foods: Iron-fortified infant cereal, jarred baby food, and WIC-approved formula. Non-contract or specialized formulas generally require a medical documentation form from your child's provider.

The Cash Value Benefit

Every participant receives a monthly Cash Value Benefit to buy fresh, frozen, or canned fruits and vegetables — $26 a month for children, $48 for pregnant or postpartum participants, and $52 for breastfeeding participants. The CVB is loaded onto your eWIC card and does not roll over month to month, so use it before the end of each benefit period.

Shopping Tips

Use the WIC Shopper app to scan barcodes at the store and instantly check whether a product is approved, look up your current balance, and find nearby WIC-authorized stores. Look for WIC shelf tags on approved items. If a product won't scan as approved at checkout, check the brand and size against the app or ask your local WIC clinic for the current approved foods list.
