Funding is Zero for Zero Nutrition Options (FIZZ-NO) Act of 2025 is a House bill in committee. The latest recorded action: Referred to the Subcommittee on Nutrition and Foreign Agriculture.
Latest action on H.R. 813: Referred to the Subcommittee on Nutrition and Foreign Agriculture.
Who this affects: This bill mainly affects people who use SNAP benefits and buy soda. They could still buy soda with other money, but not with SNAP. Stores that accept SNAP would also need to update checkout systems so blocked drinks cannot be paid for with SNAP cards. State and federal SNAP offices would need to help put the new rule into practice.
Why this matters: This bill matters because it would change a common grocery choice for people who rely on SNAP. It would not cut SNAP benefits, but it would narrow what those benefits can buy. The bill may support nutrition goals by removing soda from SNAP purchases, but the text does not show whether it would improve health or change overall diets. It also creates new work for stores and SNAP systems that must identify and block covered drinks.
You do not have to start with a blank letter. Modern Action turns the bill, your position, and the relevant congressional context into a message you can edit and send. The goal is to make contacting Congress clear, specific, and useful without forcing you to parse bill text or figure out the right office on your own.
