Can SNAP benefits be used to purchase cooking wines and extracts
Q) Can SNAP benefits be used to purchase cooking wines and extracts
A) Yes, cooking wines and extracts are eligible for purchase with SNAP benefits. These items are considered un-consumable as alcoholic beverages. Because they contain very large amounts of added salt, the product is undrinkable as a standalone beverage. As such, cooking wines and extracts are not classified as a beverage product and would not fall under the category of an alcoholic beverage. They are meant for cooking and as such are eligible for purchase.
Please Note:
Households CANNOT use SNAP benefits to buy:
- Beer, wine, liquor, cigarettes or tobacco
- Any nonfood items, such as:
- pet foods
- soaps, paper products
- household supplies
- Vitamins and medicines
- Food that will be eaten in the store
- Hot foods
I’m suppose to get my ebt stamps on the 20th of each month and today being the 20th, my benefits didn’t go on my card. I’d like to know what’s going on. I turned in all the information that was requested so I shouldn’t be turned down. I’m in need of my stamps and again what’s going on for my stamps to not be on my card??!
