Approved-product search
Search real state Approved Product List data by food instead of guessing the right benefit category first.
Benefit-aware shopping support
Plan a WIC shopping trip around approved foods, remaining benefits, and the store aisle.
WIC Companion helps participants search approved products, build reusable shopping lists, organize a trip by benefit category or aisle, check supported retailer information, and remember upcoming benefit expirations.
The problem this solves
Replace fragmented work with one understandable path.
A product can look eligible and still be the wrong size, category, or exact UPC. Families may also reach the end of a benefit period with unused items because the store trip is hard to plan. WIC Companion brings approved-product data and a practical list together before the shopper is standing in an aisle.

What the product can do
Capability with a purpose.
Benefit-aware planning
Build a trip around the categories and remaining amounts the participant chooses to track.
Aisle or category view
Switch between a store-oriented aisle list and a benefits-oriented category list without rebuilding the plan.
Reusable saved lists
Start from a prior shopping trip instead of recreating a common household list every time.
Supported retailer checks
Use official provider data for store and product information where the retailer connection supports it.
Expiration reminders
Optionally record a benefit expiration date and receive an email reminder before the period ends.
How a pilot works
Start small. Verify the workflow. Expand with evidence.
Choose the state and benefits
Use the relevant approved-product data and select the categories for the trip.
Search and save foods
Find eligible products, build a reusable list, and arrange it by aisle or category.
Shop with provider limits visible
Use stock or aisle information where supported and confirm eligibility at purchase because retailer and program data can change.
Trust is part of the product
Honest boundaries build better software.
WIC participation is sensitive and income-linked. The product states that it does not sell identity-linked participant data. Any sharing of aggregated patterns with an agency is opt-in and off by default. It stores only what is needed for the service and is transparent where external retailer data is incomplete.
Questions buyers ask
What to know before choosing WIC Companion.
Does WIC Companion decide final eligibility at checkout?
No. It helps plan from approved-product data, but the retailer and WIC program remain authoritative.
Which states have real product data in this backup?
Colorado and California are documented with real approved-product datasets.
Does it show live stock everywhere?
No. Store information depends on an official retailer provider. The backup documents Kroger certification support and no live Walmart stock/aisle claim.
Can I reuse a shopping list?
Yes. Saved lists let a participant start from a previous trip.
Is data shared with the state automatically?
No. The documented aggregated-sharing setting is optional and off by default.
