Florida Restricts SNAP Purchases Amid Policy Changes
New rules limit eligible items starting next year
Beginning next year, Florida SNAP recipients will face new restrictions on what items can be purchased using their benefits, under a policy change announced by state officials.
The revised guidelines aim to reduce spending on so-called 'junk food' and promote healthier diets, though critics argue the policy may stigmatize low-income families and limit their food choices.
