North Dakota has received federal approval for a SNAP food-choice waiver-an important step toward improving health outcomes statewide. USDA Secretary Brooke Rollins approved the waiver as part of the Make America Healthy Again initiative, enabling states to align SNAP purchases more closely with nutritious food options starting in 2026. Gov. Kelly Armstrong and HHS leaders say the change will support healthier families, reduce chronic disease, and advance North Dakota's goal of becoming the healthiest state in the nation.
