This bill would change what you can buy with SNAP. It would block buying soda and many snack and dessert foods, like chips, ice cream, candy, snack cakes, and boxed baking mixes, which are on USDA’s Accessory Foods List from March 5, 2018. SNAP dollars could still go toward nonalcoholic drinks that are water, cow’s milk, milk substitutes like almond or soy milk, and 100% juice. It would also let states ask USDA to prohibit other foods they consider unhealthy.
