As food benefit programs continue to grow, many organizations face the same challenge: How do you deliver more healthy food choices without adding more operational complexity?
Sifter is the Food as Medicine Platform.

Sifter has cracked the code and has the answer.

Sifter’s Health Friendly Card is a next-generation approach that combines Sifter's industry-leading Approved Product List (APL) technology with a branded payment card to make healthy food benefit programs easier to administer, easier to scale, and better for recipients.

Why It Matters

Instead of managing every grocery order, customer service issue, or product exception, Sifter enables organizations to shift fulfillment directly to major retailers while continuing to ensure that benefit dollars are spent only on approved, healthy products. The result is a simpler, more scalable program with less administrative burden and a better shopping experience.
