Missouri SB1347 amends the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP) to exclude candy, prepared desserts, and certain beverages from eligible foods. The bill defines "candy" as products made with sugar or artificial sweeteners combined with various ingredients, and "certain beverages" as those with less than 50% natural fruit or vegetable juice. The director of the Department of Social Services must request a waiver from the U.S. Department of Agriculture to prohibit the purchase of these items with SNAP benefits.
