can i buy sushi with ebt
Hey, I heard from a friend that I might be able to buy sushi with my EBT card, is that true?
Well, it's a bit of a complicated issue. Technically, people who receive EBT from the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP) are allowed to buy any non-cooked food items. But sushi typically isn't counted as non-cooked because it often includes cooked rice or seafood.
But what if I'm in the mood for a nice sushi dinner?
I totally understand, buddy. But EBT rules are strict in order to focus on what's considered 'basic foods'. You'll more than likely run into issues trying to buy sushi with your EBT card at a restaurant or prepared food section of a grocery store.
Ugh, that's annoying. What if the sushi uses cooked ingredients like crab and cooked rice? Doesn't that count as a non-cooked and therefore eligible food item?
Your argument makes sense but unfortunately, it doesn't work that way. The rule about cooked foods refers to food that you buy already cooked, not the individual ingredients. So even if the ingredients in sushi are cooked, sushi itself is considered a prepared food and might not be eligible for purchase with an EBT card.
