Georgia WIC Food List
Georgia WIC's approved food list is managed by the Georgia Department of Public Health and available at dph.georgia.gov/WIC. Your eWIC card can be used at over 1,400 authorized vendors statewide. The approved food list is reviewed and updated periodically — always check the current list before shopping if you're unsure about a specific item.
Georgia WIC Food Package Overview
Milk and dairy: Georgia WIC provides milk, cheese, and yogurt. If your infant or child has special dietary needs, ask your WIC nutritionist — specialized formula and dairy alternatives are available with medical documentation from a healthcare provider.
Whole grains: Approved options include whole grain bread, cereal, brown rice, and whole wheat pasta. Cereal options include both hot and cold varieties meeting WIC nutrition criteria.
Fruits and vegetables: Fresh, frozen, and canned fruits and vegetables are eligible. Every participant receives a monthly Cash Value Benefit (CVB) for fruits and vegetables — contact your local WIC clinic for current benefit amounts. In summer months, Georgia WIC participants can also use their eWIC card at participating local farmers markets — availability varies by health district.
Protein: Peanut butter, beans, and eggs are all approved. Older children's packages include fruits and vegetables, cheese, and beans.
Infant formula: Georgia manages a competitive bid contract for infant formula. The contract brand is issued by default. Medical documentation from a healthcare provider is required for non-contract or specialized formulas. Ask your WIC nutritionist if your infant needs a specialized product.
Baby food and infant cereal: Baby food and infant cereal are available for infants over 6 months. Ask your WIC nutritionist about currently approved infant cereal options.
