Michigan WIC Approved Products List Michigan WIC Food Guide Michigan WIC intends to update the posted APL monthly. Though the APL is updated regularly, the posted version may not contain all authorized UPCs or PLUs. It is in an excel spreadsheet with the complete APL on the first tab with newly added products highlighted, and separate tab to show recently discontinued products. Please note that as of right now, multiple items do not have detailed product descriptions and substitute formulas are listed with the same description as the formula they are able to replace. The APL lists all UPCs of the WIC allowed foods and PLUs for fresh fruits and vegetables. To find out all the foods available through your WIC benefits, select your state below.A copy of the most recently published APL in Excel format is available below. Some of the foods available through the WIC program include eggs, cheese, infant and adult cereal, fruits and vegetables, canned fish, peanut butter and canned beans and peas and more. Special infant formulas and medical foods may be available when prescribed by a physician for specific medical needs and conditions. For women who do not breastfeed fully, WIC provides iron-fortified infant formula. WIC believes and promotes breastfeeding as an optimal source of nutrition for infants. Also, instead of having to visit your local WIC clinic each month for new checks our vouchers, your eWIC card will automatically be refilled electronically. From there, the POS system would deduct the amount from your current WIC balance. Instead of using the checks or vouchers at checkout, you would hand the cashier your WIC EBT Card and they would swipe it like a normal debit or credit card. This replaces the paper checks and vouchers with a WIC EBT (Electronic benefit transfer) Card.
In some states they have rolled out the new eWIC system. The foods specified are designed to supplement your diet with specific nutrients that benefits you and your child's needs. Each month you would go down to a WIC clinic nearby and they would issue the checks or vouchers. In most cases, if you are receiving WIC benefits in your state, you are given WIC checks or vouchers that allow you to purchase WIC approved foods at your local grocery store.
