CHANGE IS COMING TO SNAP RETAILERS

The USDA announced new rules that will require SNAP-authorized stores to carry MORE real, nutritious food options for families.

Beginning Fall 2026, retailers accepting SNAP benefits must stock a wider variety of staple foods, including:

✅ Fruits & vegetables
✅ Protein foods
✅ Dairy products
✅ Whole grains

The new standards aim to:
1. Increase access to healthier food choices
2. Encourage more fresh and perishable foods
3. Reduce fraud and abuse in the SNAP program
4. Strengthen nutrition support for families and communities

This means SNAP participants may begin seeing more healthy options available in neighborhood stores and small markets.

Community Health Workers (CHWs) can play an important role by helping families understand healthy food choices, nutrition resources, and how these changes may impact local communities.
