Three states ban junk food from SNAP benefits: What to know

Soda and candy purchases are being limited in Arkansas, Idaho and Utah starting in 2026.
Three states—Mississippi, Oklahoma, and West Virginia—are set to ban the purchase of junk food using SNAP benefits starting in 2024, following a USDA pilot program aimed at promoting healthier eating habits among low-income families. The initiative, which began in 2017, seeks to limit the use of SNAP benefits for purchasing items like soda, candy, and other high-sugar, high-fat foods. This move has sparked a debate over government intervention in dietary choices, with supporters arguing that it will help combat obesity and related health issues, while critics contend that it infringes on personal freedom and may not effectively address the root causes of poor nutrition.
