What this bill would do

This bill, known as the "Funding is Zero for Zero Nutrition Options (FIZZ-NO) Act of 2025," seeks to change how supplemental nutrition assistance program benefits can be used. It aims to amend the Food and Nutrition Act of 2008 to prohibit the purchase of soda with these benefits. The bill defines "soda" as a carbonated beverage containing more than 1 gram of added sugar, artificial sweetener, or flavoring per serving. These changes would take effect 180 days after the act is passed.
