Starting April 1st, Texas SNAP recipients can no longer use benefits on candy or sweetened drinks due to Senate Bill three seventy-nine. Retailers must update systems to block purchases on Lone Star Cards. Exceptions include milk-based drinks and those with over fifty percent fruit or vegetable juice. Penalties target retailers, not shoppers, as officials monitor healthier choices.
