The source supplies the latest action, but no lifecycle stage.
Latest action (10 Jul 2025): Referred to the House Committee on Agriculture.
What this bill does
The "Farmers Feeding America Act" proposes to amend the Food and Nutrition Act of 2008. If passed, it would require that food purchased with Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP) benefits be "American food products," defined as food grown, harvested, or produced in the U.S., and processed or manufactured in the U.S. with at least 51 percent domestic ingredients. Exemptions would apply if the food item is not commercially available domestically in sufficient quantity or reasonable quality, or if the Secretary of Agriculture grants an exemption based on undue burden to participating households.
This bill would affect individuals who receive SNAP benefits and retailers authorized to accept SNAP. SNAP recipients would be directed to purchase American food products, with some exceptions. Retailers would be required to make reasonable efforts to stock American food products and report on their compliance. Noncompliance by retailers could lead to warnings, corrective actions, or suspension of SNAP authorization.
The bill was introduced in the House of Representatives on July 10, 2025, and has been referred to the Committee on Agriculture. Its next steps would involve consideration by that committee. If it moves forward, it would then need to be passed by the House and the Senate, and signed by the President to become law. The bill specifies an effective date of one year after enactment.
