South Dakota WIC Food List
South Dakota WIC food benefits are loaded monthly onto an eWIC card redeemable at authorized participating businesses statewide, including Hy-Vee and regional and independent grocers. The WICShopper app helps participants find approved products, check benefit balances, and locate authorized stores near you.
Fruits and Vegetables
All participants receive a monthly Cash Value Benefit (CVB) for fresh, frozen, or canned fruits and vegetables without added sugars, fats, or oils. The benefit amount varies by participant category and is shown on your eWIC card. South Dakota WIC also participates in the Farmers' Market Nutrition Program (FMNP) — ask your local clinic about seasonal vouchers for fresh produce at authorized farmers' markets.

Approved whole grain options include whole wheat bread, brown rice, whole wheat pasta, corn tortillas, whole wheat tortillas, oatmeal, and approved cereals. Use the WICShopper app or the South Dakota WIC approved foods list to verify current approved brands and sizes before shopping.
