Food stamp recipients in Florida, Texas, and West Virginia will face restrictions on buying certain kinds of less nutritious items like soda and candy. 
Some starting in April. 
Here are the details. 
The Trump administration is clamping down on soda and candy being charged to food stamps. 
As 22 states have been approved to restrict certain purchases, the restrictions still require state approval before taking effect. 
Kansas, Nevada, Ohio, and Wyoming were the latest states to receive federal approval for the restrictions. 
The Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program, also known as food stamps, had 40.7 million people participating nationwide at a monthly cost of 7.97 billion as of November 2025. 
The Agriculture Department stated on its website that it's empowering states to ensure taxpayer dollars provide nutritious options that improve health outcomes. 
Starting Wednesday, SNAP restrictions for Texas residents won't allow them to buy candy bars, gum, and taffy along with nuts, raisins, or fruits that have been candied, crystallized, glazed, or coated with chocolate, yogurt, or caramel. 
Nonprofit advocacy group, the Food Research and Action Center, is opposed to these kinds of restrictions. 
It says policing food choices is ineffective, undermines American values, and worsens food insecurity.
