Arizona WIC Food List
Arizona WIC's approved food list is maintained by the Arizona Department of Health Services and accessible through the EZWIC app (free on iOS and Android) or at azdhs.gov/prevention/azwic. For food and shopping questions, call the dedicated AZ WIC Shoppers Helpline at 866-927-8390 or email the helpline — this is a separate line from the general WIC information line and is specifically for shopping assistance.
Arizona WIC Food Package Overview
Dairy and alternatives: Arizona WIC includes milk, yogurt, cheese, and soy milk in its food packages. Soy milk is available as an alternative to cow's milk. Some non-contract or soy-based infant formulas require a completed Food and Formula Request Form from a medical provider.
Whole grains: Approved options include whole grain bread, cereals, brown rice, whole wheat pasta, and other whole grain products. Your monthly allowance is measured in ounces and you can mix and match approved grain products.
Fruits and vegetables: The Cash Value Benefit (CVB) covers fresh, frozen, and canned options. In addition to the monthly CVB, eligible Arizona WIC households may receive FMNP coupon booklets for fresh, Arizona-grown produce at participating farmers markets and farm stands — ask your WIC clinic about current FMNP availability and how to apply.
Special formulas: Arizona WIC can provide special formulas or nutritional products for participants with certain medical conditions, but a prescription from a physician or healthcare provider using the Food and Formula Request Form is required before these can be issued.
The EZWIC App
The EZWIC app is Arizona's dedicated WIC shopping tool, developed by ADHS and available free on iOS and Android. Once you register your eWIC card, the app lets you scan barcodes in the store to see if a food is approved and shows your available benefit balance. It also provides appointment reminders, food benefit expiration notifications, and breast pump return reminders. The app includes a clinic search with filters to find clinics open on specific days (Arizona-only feature), a store locator, and the ability to submit complaints against WIC participants, staff, or vendors directly from the app. Food list and balance information is available in multiple languages through the app's "Other Resources" menu.
WIC in a Click
Arizona WIC's "WIC in a Click" online module and podcast system allows participants to complete WIC nutrition education appointments on their own schedule at azdhs.gov/prevention/azwic/wic-in-a-click. Modules and podcast episodes cover nutrition, breastfeeding, postpartum wellness, feeding your family, and more — and can be completed any time, day or night. WIC in a Click is also used by WIC programs in American Samoa, CNMI, Guam, the Navajo Nation, and Washington DC. After completing a module or podcast episode and the required questionnaire, benefits are issued to your eWIC card within two to three business days.
Arizona WIC Farmers Market Program
Arizona WIC participates in the WIC Farmers Market Nutrition Program (FMNP). Eligible households receive FMNP coupon booklets for fresh, Arizona-grown fruits, vegetables, and herbs at participating farmers markets and farm stands. Contact your WIC clinic for current benefit amounts, application instructions, and availability — FMNP vouchers are distributed on a first-come, first-served basis while funding lasts.
