As of early 2026, several states have implemented "Healthy Food Waivers" that further restrict SNAP purchases.

While most medicated brands like Ricola or Vicks are excluded, many products are categorized as food items and are frequently EBT-eligible at major retailers.

Any item with a "Supplement Facts" label is considered a supplement or medicine and cannot be purchased with EBT. This includes most medicinal cough drops, vitamins, and pain relievers.
