This bill aims to support domestic agriculture and strengthen American food production by requiring that Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP) benefits be used solely for the purchase of "American food products." An "American food product" is defined as food grown, harvested, or produced within the United States, and processed or manufactured domestically with at least 51 percent of its ingredients sourced from the U.S. This measure seeks to ensure that federal nutrition assistance funds directly benefit the U.S. economy and its agricultural sector. Exceptions to this requirement are permitted if a specific food item is not commercially available in sufficient quantities or reasonable quality within the United States, or if the Secretary of Agriculture grants an exemption due to an undue burden on SNAP households. SNAP-authorized retailers must make reasonable efforts to stock these American food products and report on their compliance. Non-compliance by retailers may result in warnings, corrective action, or suspension of SNAP authorization, with the Secretary of Agriculture tasked with establishing regulations for enforcement.
