3Introduction to theApproved ProductsList (APL)

4Approved Product ListThe WIC Approved Product List (APL) is an electronic database that lists allauthorized WIC food items.For WIC participants to purchase a product, the Universal Product Code (UPC)or Price Look Up (PLU) code for that product must be included in this database.Vendors, participants, and manufacturers will need to alert the NYS WICProgram of any new or missing UPCs for allowable products. If the UPC orPLU for a product is not on the APL, participants will not be able topurchase that product.The NYS WIC Program will use PLUs set by the International Federation forProduce Standards (IFPS) for all fresh fruits and vegetables. No storegenerated PLUs will be included on the APL.

5Approved Product ListThe APL will be updated within point-of-sale systems everynight.Vendors who use stand-beside point-of-sale devices will needto leave them on over night so the download can take place.In integrated cash register systems, the vendor’s ITdepartment will be responsible for making sure the APL isdownloaded every night.

6Approved Product ListThe following categories of UPCs and PLUs will not be included on the APLdue to state and federal policies: Store-generated UPCs and PLUs cannot be included UPCs and PLUs for non-allowable products cannot be included (please refer to theWIC Acceptable Foods Card for help in determining whether a product is allowable) UPCs for variable-measure products (for example deli cheese or blocks of cheese thatdo not have a standardized weight) cannot be included UPCs for fresh produce (for example bags of salad) will not be included; theseproducts should be mapped to the most similar IFPS PLU
