Approved Product List (APL)
The Maine WIC Program uses the WICShopper App to help you find allowed WIC foods. We are maintaining an APL to ensure the app is current.
You can download our current APL.
There may be food in your store that you think should be included on our APL. It may be a new product or may not have been submitted for approval before. To request a review of food items to be added to the Maine WIC APL, download the Product Submission Spreadsheet (Excel) and email it to SubmitUPCWIC@maine.gov.
If you have questions about this process, email us at SubmitUPCWIC@maine.gov. Thank you for your help in keeping our APL up-to-date and for making healthy foods available to WIC participants.
