APPROVED PRODUCT LIST (APL) EFFECTIVE JANUARY 1, 2024

All Authorized Vendors are encouraged to conduct NJ WIC APL uploads frequently to ensure the most up-to-date list is in your POS system. Ensure that the new food updates are reflected in your POS system. The State Agency recommends vendors contact their POS technician to assist with establishing automatic and daily NJ WIC APL uploads. These APL uploads should occur daily to ensure NJ WIC APL changes are reflected immediately.
