In 2026, new rules restricting SNAP-eligible foods and beverages are coming into effect in some states. Item restrictions vary by state.
For the most up-to-date details on the specific restrictions and effective date in your state, visit the USDA website.
Retailers have a 90-day grace period to comply with these changes. Note, EBT SNAP item eligibility rules are also expected to change over time.
