4 more states will add restrictions on SNAP purchases in April.
Four states are ready to start cracking down next month. New restrictions take effect in April in Colorado, Florida, Texas and West Virginia.
Colorado and West Virginia’s new rules ban the purchase of soda or soft drinks with SNAP benefits. Florida goes further, also banning the purchase of energy drinks, candy and prepared desserts. Texas SNAP recipients will no longer be able to buy candy or any sweetened drinks that contain more than 5 grams of added sugar or any artificial sweeteners.
Looking at map says a lot of people still buying pop/soda.
