Arkansas Governor Sarah Huckabee Sanders is seeking clearance from the USDA to make candy and all types of soda ineligible for purchases under the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program, or SNAP, starting in July 2026 and the Agriculture Department is fast-tracking such requests from that state and others, reported The Wall Street Journal’s Laura Cooper, Kristina Peterson and Josh Dawsey. Soda, snack and candy makers include Coca-Cola (KO), PepsiCo (PEP), Keurig Dr Pepper (KDP), Hershey (HSY), Mondelez (MDLZ) and Nestle (NSRGY).
