## Summary

**Prioritize American-grown food in SNAP purchases.** This bill would require Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program benefits be used for American food products and set narrow exemptions, retailer duties, and USDA enforcement to support domestic agriculture. - Families and SNAP households: Would limit SNAP purchases to foods grown, harvested, or processed in the United States with at least 51 percent domestic ingredients unless an item is not commercially available in sufficient quantity or reasonable quality, or the Secretary grants an exemption for undue burden including cost or regional availability. It would take effect one year after enactment to allow adaptation and public education. - Retailers: Would require SNAP-authorized retailers to make good faith efforts to stock American food products in relevant categories and to report on compliance when requested. Repeated or egregious noncompliance could trigger warnings, required corrective action, or suspension of SNAP authorization. - Farmers and domestic producers: Aims to increase demand for U.S. grown and U.S. processed foods to strengthen American food production and support domestic agriculture. - USDA and regulators: Would direct the Secretary of Agriculture to maintain and update a list of exempted foods, write regulations with federal and state partners, run a public awareness campaign, and perform an annual economic review with recommendations.

USDA could also approve exemptions when costs or regional shor…
- SNAP stores must stock American foods: cost, low. Stores that take SNAP would need to try to stock American food products. USDA could ask stores to report their efforts.
