Iowa's SNAP Restrictions Struck Down | Cedar Rapids News

Iowa’s bid to restrict SNAP benefits on sugary drinks and candy has been struck down by a federal court, which ruled the state’s waiver violated federal food definitions. The controversial policy, which aimed to promote healthier eating, created confusion around items like granola bars and pre-made meals. Governor Reynolds had backed the initiative, but now the USDA approval is void. Retailers are being told to update systems, and while the SNAP restrictions are off, the SUN Bucks summer food program for kids continues under its original rules.
