(Gray News) - The Trump administration is placing restrictions on grocery store items that can be purchased with the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP).

Information from the U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) lists 23 states that are restricting the purchase of non-nutritious items such as soda and candy.

The USDA called it "a key step in ensuring that taxpayer dollars provide nutritious options that improve health outcomes within SNAP."Each state has its own restrictions on SNAP-eligible foods, with some only opting to restrict soda while others are restricting candy, energy drinks, prepared desserts and more.
