WIC Approved Eggs
What Is Covered
WIC covers shell eggs â typically one dozen large eggs per month for most adult participant categories. The exact quantity depends on your participant type. Eggs must be standard chicken shell eggs; specialty eggs (organic, cage-free, omega-3 enriched) are only covered if specifically listed on your state's approved foods list.

Shopping Tips
Look for "WIC approved" shelf tags in the egg aisle. Standard one-dozen large eggs at the lowest price are the most reliably covered option. If you want to buy a specialty variety, confirm it is on your state's approved list before checkout.
