Nutritious SNAP Act of 2025

The Nutritious SNAP Act of 2025 changes SNAP rules to prevent benefits from being used to buy sugary drinks and certain snack foods. It amends the definition of "food" to exclude nonalcoholic beverages (other than water, cow's milk, milk substitutes, or 100% juice) and specific snack/dessert items listed in a 2018 USDA guidance document. The bill also allows states to request waivers prohibiting SNAP purchases of foods they determine to be unhealthy. This directly affects SNAP participants by restricting eligible items and gives states authority to implement local nutrition restrictions.
