This bill proposes to amend the Food and Nutrition Act of 2008 by prohibiting the use of Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP) benefits to purchase soda . It specifically adds "soda" to the list of items, alongside alcoholic beverages, that cannot be bought with federal food assistance funds. The legislation aims to direct SNAP benefits towards more nutritious options. The bill defines "soda" as any carbonated beverage containing more than 1 gram of added sugar, artificial sweetener, or flavoring per serving . This restriction would take effect 180 days after the bill's enactment, impacting how SNAP recipients can utilize their benefits for beverage purchases.
