Federal Restrictions (National Baseline)
Nationally, you cannot purchase the following with SNAP EBT cards:
Hot & Prepared Foods: Food that is hot at the point of sale (e.g., rotisserie chickens, deli food ready for immediate consumption, or restaurant/fast-food meals).
Alcoholic Beverages & Tobacco: Beer, wine, liquor, cigarettes, and chewing tobacco.
Vitamins & Medicines: Anything with a “Supplement Facts” label, as well as over-the-counter medications and drugs.
Non-Food Items: Pet foods, household cleaning supplies, paper products (paper towels, toilet paper), hygiene products, and cosmetics.
Live Animals & Marijuana: Live animals (except live fish/shellfish) and foods containing controlled substances like CBD or cannabis.

You know how they gat around that?
They purchase gift cards. That is why Walmart and Dollar stores have an entire
Wall of gift cards. What, you think the people on SNAP and other welfare programs are just the beacon for giving? They buy gift cards and either trade them for cash or just use them for banned items.
There is so much fraud in this country.
