WIC UPC information and request form

The MA WIC Program maintains a database of Universal Product Codes (UPC) and Product Look Up (PLU) codes for all WIC allowed products. This database is called the MA WIC Approved Products List (APL).

To ensure the APL remains complete and up to date, we rely on vendor support. Please use the resources on this page to review the current APL and submit UPC information for any new or missing WIC allowable products. WIC participants will not be able to purchase any products that are not included in the APL.
