No, vitamins aren't covered by SNAP; you can't buy vitamins with an EBT card. If the product you're looking for has an information label about the supplement, it's a supplement and therefore not eligible. Last week, the United States Senate approved the farm bill, which includes an amendment that allows food stamps to be used to purchase vitamin and mineral supplements. The study will analyze if the quality of the diet has changed among the participants in the program and how much of the food stamp allowance was used to purchase vitamins and minerals.
However, multivitamins are a safe and affordable way to get adequate levels of essential nutrients. It will also assess whether participants in the food stamp program spend more on vitamins than non-participants and how much of vitamins and minerals are used as meal replacements. The initiative to include vitamins and minerals in the food stamp program has been supported by members of the industry. The Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP) is the federal government's food program to help low-income families and individuals buy nutritious food when their incomes don't cover these essential costs.
However, this did not materialize and it now seems likely that the SNAP program, which offers nutritional benefits to supplement the food budget of families in need, so that they can buy healthy food and move towards self-sufficiency, will consume certain multivitamins.
