This bill, titled the "Dairy Nutrition Incentive Program Act of 2025," amends the Food and Nutrition Act of 2008 to establish a new program aimed at improving nutrition. The core purpose is to develop and test methods for increasing the purchase and consumption of naturally nutrient-rich dairy by households participating in the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP). This will be achieved by providing incentives at the point of purchase for these specific dairy products. The program defines "naturally nutrient-rich dairy" to include fluid milk , yogurt and other cultured cow's milk dairy products, and cheese made from cow's milk. The Secretary of Agriculture will implement the program by awarding competitive grants or cooperative agreements to eligible entities, such as state or local governmental bodies and nonprofit organizations. Priority will be given to projects that maximize direct incentives for SNAP participants, ensure incentives are used exclusively for naturally nutrient-rich dairy, and utilize electronic point-of-sale systems. The bill mandates independent evaluations of each project to measure the effect of incentives on dairy purchases, with results to be made publicly available. It provides mandatory funding of $10,000,000 for each fiscal year to carry out the program, with an additional $10,000,000 authorized for appropriation annually. Furthermore, the bill ensures a seamless transition of existing Healthy Fluid Milk Incentives Projects into this new dairy nutrition incentive program, preventing any interruption in services.
