The United States Department of Agriculture has approved waivers for Arkansas, Idaho, and Utah to restrict what foods can be purchased under the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP).
These waivers exclude foods such as candy, soda, and other high-sugar or low nutrition items from what SNAP recipients can buy. The USDA says the state-specific waivers are part of President Donald Trump’s larger initiative to “Make America Healthy Again.”
