Funding is Zero for Zero Nutrition Options (FIZZ-NO) Act of 2025

# FIZZ-NO Act of 2025 - Plain Language Summary **What the Bill Would Do** The FIZZ-NO Act would ban the use of SNAP benefits (food stamps) to purchase soda and similar sugary drinks. Specifically, it would prohibit buying any carbonated beverage containing more than 1 gram of added sugar, artificial sweetener, or flavoring per serving. This means people receiving SNAP benefits couldn't use those funds for regular sodas, diet sodas, flavored sparkling waters, and similar beverages—though they could still purchase other drinks like milk, juice, or plain water. **Who It Affects** This bill primarily affects the roughly 42 million Americans who currently receive SNAP benefits, which are used to purchase food and beverages at grocery stores.

It would also impact retailers who accept SNAP payments and beverage manufacturers. **Current Status** The bill was introduced by Rep. Keith Self (R-TX) and is currently in committee, meaning it has not yet been voted on by the full House of Representatives. It has not advanced to become law.
