Amends the Gus Schumacher Nutrition Incentive Program (the nutrition incentives authority in the Food, Conservation, and Energy Act of 2008) to broaden the types of foods that may be offered through incentive programs. It adds authorization to offer fresh frozen fruits and vegetables to improve year-round availability and explicitly adds legumes to the list of eligible items, updating program language to require benefits apply to “fresh or fresh frozen fruits, vegetables, and legumes.”
The change is narrowly targeted to program definitions and allowable foods; it does not create new spending lines or change funding levels but allows grantees, retailers, and program administrators greater flexibility in how incentives are delivered and which foods qualify.
Read twice and referred to the Committee on Agriculture, Nutrition, and Forestry.
