Mississippi seeks USDA waiver to limit SNAP purchases of sugary foods and boost healthy eating.
Mississippi Governor Tate Reeves has requested a USDA waiver to restrict SNAP benefits for foods high in added sugars and sugary drinks, excluding single-ingredient sugars and low-calorie sweetened beverages.
The proposal would allow purchases of hot, prepared chicken and promote fresh produce through the Double Up Food Bucks Program.
The move aligns with national health initiatives and follows similar waivers in 12 states.
SNAP benefits may be delayed due to the ongoing federal government shutdown.
