Dairy Nutrition Incentive Program Act of 2025
This bill creates a new program within the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP) to provide point-of-sale incentives for purchasing specific dairy products. It targets SNAP households by offering incentives at checkout for fluid milk, yogurt, and cheese made from cow’s milk (defined as "naturally nutrient-rich dairy" under the bill). The program will fund competitive grants to state/local governments and nonprofits to implement these incentives, with $10 million allocated annually for implementation and evaluation. It also transitions existing dairy incentive projects into this new framework and repeals the previous program after a one-year transition period.
