It shows what foods WIC approves. WIC provides healthy food benefits every month that you are enrolled and eligible for the program. These nutritious foods are specifically chosen to promote good health, growth, and development.  \nWith your eWIC card, you can only buy foods that are approved by WIC and in your current benefits. Your nutritionist can give you additional tips and ways to cook and prepare your WIC foods.  \nCONTENTS  \n• Shopping Tips .................... 2  \n• Fruits and Vegetables .............. 8  \n• Juice ......................... 10  \n• Beans, Peas, Lentils .............. 12  \n• Nut Butters ..................... 13  \n• Cereals ........................ 14  \n• Whole Wheat Bread Products ........ 19  \n• Rice, Quinoa .................... 19  \n• Pasta, Oats ..................... 20  \n• Tortillas, Corn Masa Flour ........... 21  \n• Milk .......................... 22  \n• Plant-Based Milk ................. 23  \n• Yogurt......................... 24  \n• Cheese, Tofu .................... 26  \n• Eggs, Fish ...................... 27  \n• Infant Foods .................... 28  \n2 • Rights and Responsibilities.......... 30  \nTHINGS TO KNOW ABOUT YOUR WIC FOOD BENEFITS  \n• WIC food benefits expire every 30 days. Shop early during your benefit period to prevent unused benefits from expiring. Food benefits can’t be replaced after the expiration date.  \n• Up to three months of food benefits may be issued at a time. The next benefits are not automatically added. Contact your WIC office as directed to receive more benefits.  \n• Keep your card to receive your next food benefits.  \n• Make sure to keep your card safe and report damaged, lost, or stolen cards to your WIC office.  \n• WIC food benefits can be spent at any Wisconsin WIC authorized grocery store. Ask your WIC office for a list of local stores.  \nRESPONSIBILITIES  \n• No substitutions, rain checks, or IOUs are allowed.  \n• Only purchase the foods and formula you need.  \n• Return unused food and formula to your WIC office.  \n• WIC foods and formulas cannot be returned or exchanged for cash, credit, or other items.  \n• WIC foods and formula cannot be offered for sale, sold, traded, or given away.  \n3  \nSHOPP ING TIPS  \nBEFORE YOU SHOP  \n• Find your current balance by using the Wisconsin MyWIC app, website or phone number on the back of the card, WIC Shopping List, or your most recent store receipt.  \n• Plan which foods to buy and review the information in this guide.  \n• When possible, avoid shopping around midnight. Cash register systems often update during this time, preventing you from making an eWIC purchase.  \nAS YOU SHOP  \n• To prevent problems at checkout, use this guide, the MyWIC app, or your WIC shopping list to help you choose the right brands, varieties, and sizes of foods.  \n• Only the foods in your benefit balance and listed in this guide may be purchased with your eWIC card.  \nAT THE CHECKOUT  \n• Tell the cashier you are using your eWIC card and ask if you need to separate your groceries.  \n• Use your eWIC card first, then FoodShare or anyother forms of payment.  \n• Some cash register systems print a mid-purchase receipt, listing which foods will be deducted from your WIC benefits. Carefully review this receipt.  \n• If there are food items you thought would be covered by WIC benefits but are not, ask to have them removed if you do not want to buy them with another form of payment. Swipe your eWIC card again and approve the purchase.  \n4  \nSHOPP ING TIPS  \n• You may use coupons for WIC purchases. If the coupon is for a non-WIC item, it is recommended that you use it in a separate purchase.  \n• Keep your receipt to review benefit information, if needed.  \nIF YOU HAVE A PROBLEM ORA FOOD IS NOT ALLOWED  \n• Ask for assistance. If the cashier is unable to help, ask for the store manager.  \n• The","cbCaigViW4yZf54d","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaigViW4yZf54d","pdf",2316955,"English","# Shopping Tips\n## Before You Shop\n## As You Shop\n## At the Checkout\n## If You Have a Problem or a Food Is Not Allowed\n# Rights and Responsibilities\n# Contact Your WIC Office\n## PIN Tips\n## Download the Wisconsin MyWIC App","[{\"question\":\"How often do WIC food benefits expire, and what should you do to avoid losing them?\",\"answer\":\"WIC food benefits expire every 30 days.
