Agriculture Secretary Brooke Rollins announced Friday that the federal government may restrict food stamp recipients from purchasing sugary drinks and junk food as part of a broader effort to promote healthier eating.
Speaking outside the White House, Rollins emphasized that the goal is to ensure Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP) benefits are directed toward nutritious food choices. She will collaborate with Health and Human Services Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. and Elon Musk’s Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) to assess potential reforms.
