As more states adopt USDA-approved SNAP waiver rules, the compliance landscape keeps shifting. And they are rolling out fast. Effective January 1, recipients in states like Idaho, Utah, Indiana, Iowa, Arkansas, Florida, and Oklahoma will be unable to use benefits to buy soda, candy, and other sugary items. The new rules require food retailers to identify and block restricted items at the UPC level—something you’ve never been required to track or enforce before on this level— all while maintaining accurate POS data and customer confidence.
