Description

The USDA is allowing states to restrict SNAP purchases of soda and candy, though a federal court ruling has blocked several state waivers after recipients challenged their legality.

More than 40 million Americans rely on Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program benefits to put food on the table, and up until recently what that looked like was almost solely up to the beneficiaries.
