HHS Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. announced the expansion of a Trump administration effort to limit the purchase of junk food using SNAP benefits, part of what officials are calling a broader initiative to “Make America Healthy Again.

Texas takes "junk food" off the SNAP eligibility list as part of the Trump administration's push to "Make America Healthy Again."

The Trump administration on Monday approved six additional states seeking to ban food stamp recipients from purchasing processed food. Colorado, Louisiana, Oklahoma, West Virginia, Texas and Florida received federal waivers to adjust Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP) guidelines outlawing the purchase of junk food with state funds in 2026.
