What was said

"But the changes that we have made there, no more junk food, no more no more soda, right? But also on the back end, the retailers in America who take that SNAP dollar from those people who use food stamps now have to stock 28 healthy items versus 12 before we got here."

US Agriculture Secretary Brooke Rollins says the USDA has changed SNAP rules to stop purchases she describes as “junk food” and “soda”. She also claims SNAP-authorised retailers must stock 28 healthy items rather than 12, and says some products no longer qualify as fruit.
