SNAP Stores Demand Delay on New Rules | Los Angeles News
Description
Over 250 major convenience store chains, including 7-Eleven and Wawa, are demanding a six-month delay on a new USDA rule set to launch November 4th — requiring SNAP-accepting stores to stock at least seven types of fresh produce, protein, dairy, and grains. With nearly 117,000 stores nationwide at risk of losing SNAP eligibility without proper guidance, industry leaders warn they need time to source and implement these changes without jeopardizing access for millions of low-income shoppers. The USDA says it’s ready to help, but the clock is ticking as stores brace for a potential food access crisis.
