Summary
Starting August 31, South Carolina is slashing sugar from SNAP benefits—no more candy, energy drinks, or sugary sodas. This bold move, backed by the USDA and Governor McMaster’s executive order, targets obesity and heart disease through the Healthy Food Choice Project. With SNAP households down nearly 9% in a year, the state’s tightening rules still allow protein bars, baking sprinkles, fruit/veggie juices, baby formula, coffee, tea, and milk-based drinks. SNAP users must shop smart—these items are off-limits in SC, even if they’re legal elsewhere. Listen in comfort: Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
