Bill overview
This bill changes the Food and Nutrition Act of 2008 to include hot rotisserie chicken as an eligible food item that can be purchased with SNAP benefits. Currently, the law defines ‘food’ more narrowly, but this amendment expands that definition to specifically allow for this popular prepared food. The goal is to increase food access for SNAP recipients by allowing them to purchase this common item. This change would broaden the types of food available through the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program.
