No, Rice Krispies are not WIC eligible at Publix.
WIC, or the Women, Infants, and Children program, provides assistance for purchasing specific nutritious foods. The list of approved items varies by state and typically includes items such as whole grains, fruits, vegetables, dairy, and infant formula.
While Rice Krispies might be a popular cereal, they are generally not included in the WIC-approved food list. This is mainly because they are classified as a processed snack rather than a whole grain or nutritious food staple.
