""America's best (and delicious) affordability play is Costco's $4.99 rotisserie chicken. It's one of my family's favorites, and I'm proud to join this bill with Sen. Justice for all to try. SNAP funds would be well spent to feed our nation's families who need it.""
""The exclusion, which dates back decades, was meant to promote home cooking. But critics say it's outdated and penalizes families that are already struggling to make ends meet, excluding convenient and nutritious options.""
""SNAP is a major piece of the U.S. social safety net used by nearly 42 million, or about 1 in 8, Americans to help buy groceries. On average, the monthly benefit per household is about $350, and the average benefit per person is about $190.""
The Hot Rotisserie Chicken Act aims to make rotisserie chicken eligible for purchase under the Supplemental Nutritional Assistance Program (SNAP). Currently, SNAP does not cover hot prepared foods, a policy intended to encourage home cooking. Critics argue this exclusion is outdated and harms struggling families by limiting access to convenient, nutritious options. The bill is sponsored by a bipartisan group of senators, including John Fetterman and Jim Justice, and reflects ongoing debates about food eligibility in SNAP, which supports nearly 42 million Americans.
