    That’s not SNAP–SNAP let’s you buy whatever food you want, as long as it’s not hot/prepared.

    You’re thinking of of WIC (Women, Infant, Children), which provides food for mothers with young children. These are restricted for a couple of reasons, such as the foods being aimed at infant and child health and, iirc, the approved foods being less expensive and thus having the program’s funds go further.
