Restaurant Meals Program Reform Act of 2025

This bill modifies SNAP (food stamp) rules to restrict where benefits can be used for restaurant meals. It limits eligible purchases to prepared food sections (like delis or hot bars) in grocery stores or supermarkets - not fast-food chains - and requires each meal to include at least one fruit/vegetable and one protein. The bill also prohibits spouses of SNAP recipients from using benefits for restaurant meals and mandates new reporting on program participation, spending, and effectiveness. These changes directly affect SNAP households seeking to use benefits at restaurants and participating retail stores.
