What this bill would do
The Food and Nutrition Delivery Safety Act of 2026 amends the Food and Nutrition Act of 2008. It requires the Administrator of the Food and Nutrition Service to create standards for the safe and secure use of online and mobile platforms for supplemental nutrition assistance program benefits. It also establishes delivery standards to ensure food safety and fair working conditions for employees. Retailers and wholesalers must report their compliance with these standards. Those who do not comply will lose their authorization to participate in the program.
