Description
WIC is super specific about what it covers, their site has PDFs full of approved foods. It would be great to get that data in a usable format and provide a search utility for WIC users to be able to see if foods qualify before they go to the store.

Research direction
Start by reviewing the linked California Department of Public Health PDFs and inspecting the JavaScript repository, whose website is currently offline. Clarify whether the work is limited to extracting approved-food data and adding search, or also includes UPC scanning; completion should include a usable dataset and a defined search utility.
