Bill overview
The Protein for Every Plate Act of 2026 aims to increase the amount of animal protein included in food assistance programs. Specifically, it modifies the Food and Nutrition Act of 2008 to require the Emergency Food Assistance Act of 1983 to purchase and distribute more animal protein. This increase is intended to be implemented over two fiscal years, 2026 and 2027, with a specified dollar amount added to existing commodity purchases. The bill seeks to address nutritional needs by boosting the availability of animal protein within these programs.
