Nutritious SNAP Act of 2025

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.

Key points:

• Who is affected: People and families who use SNAP, grocery stores that accept SNAP, and state nutrition agencies .
• What changes: Limits SNAP purchases by banning soda and many snack/dessert items; allows only certain beverages; lets states request bans on other “unhealthy” foods .
• When: The provided text does not specify an effective date.
